Gold is a basic element that cannot be broken down into anything else the same as oxygen, hydrogen, and Mercury. It has kept it's value over time because it is pretty an can be made into ornamentation. It's only intrinsic value is the relative rarity, and the value societies place on it.

Would there have been any gold mines in the Middle ages?

Yes there would, if there is gold in the ground now there would have been gold in the ground then (the middle ages weren't that long ago!) Because gold reacts slowly, if at all, the gold that is on the earths surface now would have been there then. BUT not all the gold was mined, so in answer to your question, yes there were mines but different to the ones of today.
