One simple way to check if gold is real is by using a magnet - real gold is not magnetic. You can also check for any markings or stamps indicating the gold's purity and authenticity. If in doubt, it's best to seek the expertise of a professional jeweler or use a gold testing kit for accurate results.

To use a gold test kit, start by taking a small sample of the gold item and applying the testing solution provided in the kit. Observe the color change - if the solution changes color, it indicates the presence of a lower karat gold alloy. Compare the color change against the reference chart in the kit to determine the karat of the gold.
One common method is to use a gold testing kit, which typically contains nitric acid to test the purity of the gold. You can also take the gold to a reputable jeweler or assay office for professional testing using various methods such as acid testing or X-ray fluorescence analysis.
You can determine if gold is real by conducting a few tests: Check for hallmarks or stamps indicating purity. Perform a density test by comparing the weight to its volume. Use a gold testing kit or take it to a professional jeweler for an expert appraisal.

If your question refers to a kit for testing for free (unbound) gold, then visual inspection is usually sufficient. Perhaps a pocket knife and an eye loupe will help. Your pocket knive will help determine the ductility and hardness of the material, and your eye loupe will help identify the shape and lustre. Bound gold will require a chemical assay, and such a kit is not likely to be free of cost. Occult gold, gold whose presence is obscured by say an iron film, may need treatment at elevated temperatures to remove the film.
It is generally recommended to leave the acid on the gold testing stone for about 30 seconds to allow a reaction to occur. However, always refer to the specific instructions included with your gold testing kit for the most accurate guidance. Be sure to handle the acid carefully and follow proper safety precautions.
