How can you tell the difference between gold and gold plated brass?

1. Gold is denser than brass: weigh the object, and determine its volume (e.g. by measuring the displacement when it is sunk into water in a graduated cylinder). Calculate the density. Gold will come out near 19.4 grams/cubic centimetre; brass near 8.6 g/cm3. 2. Rub against the unglazed ceramic object, real gold leave gold streak brass plated will leave brass streak.

No. Never heard of such. Gold and Lead have a lot of the same metal properties so it could work. They both have about same density. It would be very expensive ammunition. I don't think there were Brass cannon balls either. The guns were made of brass but not the balls.
