Since gold is a metal (precious) you can of course detect it with a metal detector. But only if it isn't tuned to ignore gold. since every metal has a different phase response metal detectors with discriminators can be tuned to ignore certain metals.

Will phone cases set off the metal detector at the airport?

If there is metal in the case it is possible that your phone case will set off the metal detector. It's always best to remove personal items before going through the metal detector. Unless the phone case has metal in it, it will most likely not go off in a metal detector. But, now airports have full body scanners and all personal items are asked to be removed.

Will lead tape stop a cell phone from going off in metal detector?

No lead tape will not stop a cell phone from going off in a metal detector. Lead tape is used to add weight to a golf club and does not block electromagnetic signals. Cell phones are designed to transmit signals and lead tape will not be able to block those signals. If you want to stop your cell phone from going off in a metal detector there are several things you can do: Turn off the phone before entering a metal detector Put the phone on silent or vibrate mode Put the phone in airplane mode Keep the phone out of reach of the metal detectorThese methods should help to prevent your cell phone from going off in a metal detector. If you are still having trouble you may want to consider using a different phone or device that does not emit signals.
