Easy to tell if any gold is fake.

 

Get a bucket. Put the bucket in a bowl. Fill the bucket with good clean water; the purer the better. Weigh it. Put the block of gold carefully into the bucket. Carefully weigh, or measure, the displaced water. Weigh the bucket with the gold.

 

Compare the weight of the bucket with the gold to the water overflowed.

 

Easy peasy.

THAT only measures the volume of the block.  Using that measurement  you then need to determine the specific gravity of the block and compare it with the specific gravity of gold.  SG=Weight/Volume.  (SG = weight per unit volume)

Yes, you are correct keithathome.

 

Get the displaced volume measured and work out the weight of the bucket with the block of gold. Gold is 19.3 times heavier than water, so easy to see if it's a gold block or not.
