The gold, because the feathers will float around everywhere and take forever to hit the ground.

Well assuming the feathers are contained in something so they stay together, they hit the ground at the same time, unless the person droping them decides to steal the gold instead. :)

In a vacuum they would hit the ground at the same time, but since that wasn't specified then it would be the gold because it has less wind resistance.
