Gold charms are used in Summoning to summon certain creatures. It can be obtained as a drop from various monsters. They are also obtained after the successful completion of the Wolf Whistle quest. You will receive 275 for completing the quest. All pouches that use a gold charm also use 1-14 spirit shards and give 4.8 to 93.2 experience each depending on the pouch made. This is the weakest charm of the four basic charms. This is the charm mainly used to train summoning at low to moderate levels.
