gold was suposedly,all ready mined here on Earth about 300.000 years ago in the mines of zimbabwe ,which means deep deposit.
it has been a precious metal for ever not only by us but by Aliens as well(or so the story goes)
the story of Adam and Eve was a symbolic representation of the creation of a slave race who mined gold for an Anunaki ,who was known as the creator.
who was ,not a god but a extraterestrial.
and his descendents ,the iluminati .have been behind the theft of gold from all civilisations here on Earth,ever since
it was also the most sought after comodity of the Romans.
who suposedly where the same people
.the knight templers stole gold from the Middle East and Europe(more iluminati)
.
In Africa,the Americas and who knows where else the Spanish and British and Dutch kings did the same ,again all related people.
Now in these last two centuries the gold mines of South Africa are in the hands of the Openheimers who belong to the same elite,
the questions is .
where are these inumerable thousands of tons of gold now .???????????????????,
there is not enough space in the Vatican
Are they still here on Earth .?????????
there are some tons ,thats for sure ,in fort knox and the bank of England
but we are talking about ,ton and tons and tons over many centuries ,of many civilisations
.
the mind maybe boggles , could a lot of it have left the planet.
the Alien that was captured and died ,(which story was buried by the CIA),was wearing an gold arm bracelet with two points that were inserted deep into his upper arm.
somehow when we get to Aliens we also come across gold .isnt that strange.
would be interesting if someone can estimate how much gold has been mined in the world from now back to ancient times .just a very rough calculation,
and how much there is suposed to be around in the deposits of banks
a weird story perhaps ,but not much weirder ,than angels with wings,Devils and dragons and dead people returning to life

I don't know about the "first metal to be discovered" part, but I can think of two reasons:-
1. Gold is very slow in oxidation (some even says gold does not react with Oxygen at all), so it's natural state is already in solid.
2. Gold is shiny is nature, so it is a lot easier to be discovered.

Who is to say that "gold" was the first metal discovered?
There are many metals which have been known dating back to ancient times, gold is indeed one of them, but not the only one.
In your question, you mix the present tense "is" with the past tense "discovered". Did you do this for a reason, to convey some extra meaning that I am not interpreting in the question.

Hi:
One location : is was found in river beds and because it reflect sun light so well it caught mens' attention when they walk long the river bed
two : it's properties it easily melted and casted and can be pound into shape and forms because it as a low melting point and it a metal
three: the earth a very long eons ago had super heated steam with a lot of minerials durinig it's formation, one of which was gold. when the steam found a way out of the hot earth it. cool down to water vapor. releasing the gold it was carrying with it in veins and a river soon followed and expose the gold, copper and other minerials, and this is how they were found, the same way . be as I said in one and two

Gold, platinum and silver are the only metals found in a pure form. All the others need to be smelted. You'd need to be very lucky to discover how to do this just by accident. You'd need a very hot wood fire lit on the rightmetal-bearing ore to smelt copper or iron.

As far as working metals it was Copper.
As far as useable metal it was Lead
"Working" means metal that could be made into a tool
"Useable" means it could be purified to a state to make objects out of like jewelery and decoration of some kind
and I should add lead was being used long before copper

actually iron was first "discovered"in that humans were using it before gold
