		<description>Thermal conduction of gold is a little less than twice that of tungsten.

A torch kept far enough away from suspect gold so as not to cause any damage can be heated on one end.  As it is heated, the flow of heat can be done by hand or by an inexpensive infrared camera.

Dipping a bar in a bucket of hot water would probably also work.

This method should work for gold plated tungsten, but if there is a tungsten center in a gold filed outer shell all bets are off.</description>
