Test for gold?

Can anyone reccomend an easy test for gold?

Several antique page markers for a 250 year old copy of the Koran is what I'd like to test- about 1/4" x 1",
very thin, so as to sit between pages and be almost invisible.

    Give it the acid test---A very small drop of Nitric acid will not have a reaction with gold.
