To cross-section the lads will be even an easier (and less hazardous)

I agree with Bev's first statement..
 
If you are going to destruct the part anyway, then stripping the gold
and  
examining the nickel surface would be the easiest and most effective way
to make 
 your determination.
 
Potassium Thiocyanate will not strip gold, for that you will need
potassium  
cyanide. 
There are specific formulations to do this safely.
