Because they are malleable.
Gold is not the only metal used in electroscope. Copper is also used in electroscope.
1)A reason why these metals are used is that they are malleable more than any other metal. To use the electroscope, you need to put a thin trey into it.
2)Another reason, which is not the best and is not quiet sure to me, is that Gold is less reactive. If you put a highly reactive metal as trey's substance, then that metal will react with the electrons that pass through it and will leave the observer a hard chance of having a good view.
