The scroll of gold detection detects gold on the current level. This includes gold pieces, gold golems and any gold hidden in containers, buried, or embedded in rock. A blessed scroll will also detect gold rings.
Reading scrolls of gold detection while confused, however, has a very different and useful effect. If the scroll was non-cursed, all traps on the level will be revealed to the player. ("You feel entrapped") If the scroll was cursed, all traps on the level will be marked with a $ as if the scroll was detecting gold; the message "You feel greedy" will be given. (either way, if there weren't any traps on the level, the message "You have a strange feeling for a moment, then it passes" will be given if the player was a Beginner; otherwise, the message "Your toes stop itching" will be given)
This special ability of the scroll of gold detection comes in especially useful on the Elemental Planes, as a quick way to find the portal to the next plane. (Crystal balls are another method of doing this)
