There will be more feathers but the weight will be the same :10 pounds of feathers 10 pounds of gold 10 pounds of each

In MOST cases, would agree with the above, but GOLD is different. Gold, Platinum, and all precious metals are measured in TROY ounces and TROY pounds, where feathers are measured in ordinary (avoirdupois) pounds. A TROY pound has 12 ounces instead of 16, and is not as heavy as a standard pound. This is the rare case of a pound NOT being a pound.

Yes, both 10 pounds of gold and 10 pounds of feathers would weigh the same. Weight is a measure of mass and is not affected by the material being weighed.
