Whether the elements found in the ground are reactive or not, partly depends on whether there is any other chemical there for them to react with.
Gold, Platinum, Tin, and a few others close to the noble metals are less reactive, but even some reactive elements are found (uncommonly) in the native state.
Silver is one of the more common ones so found, but Iron and Mercury are also found in the native state.
These metals are members of the family of platinum metals; they are very unreactive, scarce and expensive.
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Very reactive metals are found in Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 17 (halogens) of the periodic table.
Noble gases typically do not form bonds with metals. They have full valence shells, making them very stable and unreactive. Metals tend to form bonds with nonmetals to achieve a stable electron configuration through ionic or covalent bonding.
Gold is Definitely and element. It is a very unreactive metal to the point that it is found 'native' in the ground. However, gold can be made to react to form gold oxides/nitrates/chlorides etc., but conditions are quite severe.
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.

Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Gold and platinum are found as pure metals because they are very unreactive and resistant to corrosion. This allows them to exist in nature in a relatively pure form without reacting with other elements. Additionally, their chemical properties make them highly resistant to oxidation and weathering, further contributing to their presence as pure metals.
Very reactive metals are found in Group 1 (alkali metals) and Group 17 (halogens) of the periodic table.
Never, these metals are very reactive.

Gold is a very shiny metal as it is a unreactive metal. Silver, Stainless steel, copper, aluminium, brass and platinum are also shiny metals. x
1. Gold an platinum are very unreactive metals. 2. Minerals (compounds) containing gold are known.
Gold is a soft, malleable metal. It is 'Golden' in colour and is reflective/metallic in lustre. It conducts electricity and heat very well, like all metals. It is VERY unreactive.
Gold and silver are noble metals; gold is not so reactive, silver is more reactive.
