they both weigh an ounce so they weigh the same
This is not the correct answer...DuFuss.
Gold is weighed in troy weight, one troy ounce = 480 grains= 31.2 grams. Brick would be measured in avoirdupois weight, where 1 ounce=437.5 grains or 28.4 grams. Therefore, an ounce of gold weighs more than a ounce of brick, feathers, lead, etc.
An ounce of Gold Weighs more. An ounce of gold weighs 2.7539537 grams more, than an ounce of feathers. Gold is weighed in Troy ounces and feathers are weighed in standard ounces. There are 31.1034768 grams in 1 Troy ounce and there are 28.3495231 grams in 1 standard ounce.

It depends on what sort of feathers e.g peacock or pigeon. And it depends on the size of the brick but I would say the gold brick would be heavier. Hope this helps! :)
