Is there a Magnet to check if something is real gold?

Not really, pure gold is non-ferrous, meaning that it won't attract a magnet because there is no iron in it. That said, if a magnet sticks to something that you thought was gold, it would prove that it wasn't pure gold, and that it is either fake gold, gold plated, or gold alloyed with iron (if there is such a thing). At the same time, if a magnet doesn't stick to something you think is gold, it doesn't prove that it is gold, because there are many other metals that don't attract magnets either.
