Gold cannot be destroyed
Gold is one of the 92 naturally occurring elements found on earth. There is no known natural substance that can destroy gold. It can be dissolved by chemical means, but even then it remains as gold-only in a more widely dispersed state. ... Gold is not magnetic, but it is an excellent conductor of electricity.
