Loading ...I just recently carried 4 eagles in my pockets, while wearing a heavy gold chain and a gold bracelet, thru airport security in the US, New Zealand, and Australia, with no problem. Gold does not set off their gun-o-bomb-o-meters.
Passing thru Auckland, New Zealand, from US to Australia, they did stop and check my carry on for the 2 that I had in there. But they did not on the return (from Aus thru Auckland to US).
Interestingly, I had bought a small scrimshaw pocket knife in Australia, and forgot to take it out of my backpack carry on and put it in my checked bag. No problem leaving Australia, but New Zealand did stop and take it out and measure it, but let it go through. I was surprised — when they pulled my backpack out for a search and mentioned knife, I immediately remembered it and thought for sure I would lose it. I put it into my checked bag before going thru security in US, so have no idea how they would have reacted.
