Gold has high value and portability. This makes it vulnerable to theft, loss, and tampering in personal, industrial, and financial settings. Traditional security measures include vaults, guards, and CCTV. These provide deterrence and evidence after incidents. But they fail to offer real-time visibility of asset locations. This paper proposes the Gold Lost GPS System. It is a hybrid architecture that combines GPS and GNSS tracking with IoT smart sensors. It also uses secure communication protocols and cloud-based analytics. All this enables continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, and rapid recovery workflows. We present an expanded system design here. We include methodology for evaluation, implementation details, and application scenarios. These cover supply chains, banking, mining, and personal ownership. A comparative analysis looks at RFID, CCTV, and blockchain-only solutions. It shows the proposed systems strengths in global coverage and event-driven intelligence. There are trade-offs in power management and indoor occlusions though. We address challenges like jamming, battery life, cost, and reliability. We also cover ethical and legal considerations such as privacy, data governance, and consent. Future enhancements integrate AI for threat prediction, biometric access control, blockchain provenance, and 5G or satellite IoT for global interoperability. Case studies and a hypothetical recovery scenario illustrate practical outcomes. A user-centric interface design underscores usability and accessibility. We conclude with a vision for democratizing gold security. This happens via unobtrusive wearables and standardized platforms. The aim is to strengthen trust, reduce losses, and improve stakeholder confidence.
