24k gold leaf from ebay. The scrap gold leaf is cheaper. Most claim it is 24k, but read the description, some is not and some has a base on the gold. So the purest says "edible". Many vials are less than $5 each. Use several square inches. More surface area is better than a solid piece of gold. I stuffed it in a gelatin capsule that fits the witness chamber on a locator rod I have. I don't claim it's perfect but it works for me.
Reading about how bacteria could transfer information through quartz but not glass, I figured the gelatin was better than the glass vial the gold leaf came in. The gold leaf is messy and you really need some kind of container for it, otherwise you will scatter it all over your test area.
You can also make your own test target from the gold leaf scrap. Or silver.
