As strange as it seems, gold is not magnetic, the three only magnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt.

More Information:

Yes, gold is a magnetic material, but a very weak one. All materials exhibit magnetic properties, but the magnetic properties of most material's are extremely weak. Gold is one of these. Nickel, Cobalt, and both forms of iron exhibit relatively strong magnetic properties. These are the metals that are commonly thought of as magnetic, or ferromagnetic, especially iron and most of its alloys.

NO. Unlike other elements like iron and nickel and some alloys, gold is non-magnetic. You cannot pick up a gold ring with a magnet, for instance.

Only on a nano-scopic scale. The pure gold you would see day-to-day only gets briefly magnetized if put in a magnetized field, and it loses this field almost as soon as it is removed.

Magnetic testing in this case is not very sure.

No gold is non magnetic, but electromagnetism using a metal detector can. New designs differentiate ferrous metals like iron from nonmagnetic metals like gold, brass and copper.This known as ferro magnetism and dia magnetism. The detector has a meter or headphone signal to tell one from another.
