Determine the objects mass then submerse it in water, the volume of the water displaced is equal to the objects volume. Now get an equal mass of gold and submerse that in the the same amount of water and record the volume of water it displaces. If the volume of water displaced by the first object is eqaul to the volume of water displaced by the gold then the first object is made out of gold, if however the volumes dont match then it is not made out of gold.

How do you use a magnet to tell if something is real gold?
To test if something is real gold using a magnet, place the magnet near the item. If the item is attracted to the magnet, it is not real gold as gold is not magnetic. However, if the item is not attracted to the magnet, it may be real gold. It's important to note that this is not a definitive test and other methods, such as acid testing, are more accurate for determining gold authenticity.
Can you tell gold by its attraction to a magnet?
No. Gold is not a magnetic substance.Well ... I guess if the sample is attracted to a magnet, then you've discovered that the sample is definitely not gold. That proof oughta be worth something.
I just sold an item that is 14K solid gold and the buyer said it isn't because it sticks to a magnet. Can you test to see if something is real gold by using a magnet or is she trying to cheat me?
Pure gold is not magnetic. The less-than-pure 14K gold is often created by taking pure gold (24K) and alloying it with silver and copper to give it the hardness or lustre that the maker wants. But combinations of gold, silver and copper aren't magnetic. Testing gold with a magnet will tell if iron or other ferromagnetic material is alloyed with the gold, but if the magnet does not pick up the gold item being tested, we know nothing more about that gold. Some gold is alloyed with nickel, and nickel is magnetic. As we don't know what item was sold and because we can't know how the 14K gold was made, we can't tell much else from the question. A gold and nickel alloy will respond to a magnet. But what can be told from this? Only that the magnet is reacting to a ferromagnetic material. And that is all.

Gold is always going to be heavier than silver, its the amount of it in the ring that will determine the weight.
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.

To determine if something is filled gold, you can look for a hallmark such as "GF" for gold-filled, or "14k GF" for 14 karat gold-filled. You can also have it tested by a jeweler who can determine the gold content using acid testing or electronic testing. Gold-filled items are made by bonding a layer of gold onto a base metal, so they will have a different weight and characteristics compared to solid gold items.

How can you tell if something is 24k gold?
One can tell if something is 24k gold by poking it with a sharp object.

Also, 24k gold is much more yellow, so, the color can help to identify 24k gold. And finally, bringing it to a jeweler to get it appraised will help to determine if it is 24k gold.
