Note that gold is a Thing - specifically an element, element 79.
If humans or conscious thought didn't even exists, gold (and the other elements) would exist. They are objects.
In exact contrast, land is a mental construct. Land has no physical component. Land is like a patent or a copyright on a song, it has no physical reality, it is an abstract mental construct.
Certain points on the 2-D surface of the earth are defined using some sort of latitude/longitude grid, and a depth below that and a height above that is defined, and within those points a government asserts that you have the sole right to do certain things.
So it's important to realize gold is a physical thing (ie, an element) and land is a completely non-physical set of abstract rights granted by a government.
This is not necessarily good or bad, it's just important to understand the difference.
