OK, so looking into it, a gold leaf electroscope will detect the
presence of _a charge_, but what i want is to figure out the _sign_ of
the current when an item is discharging into another item. I don't
think a gold leaf electroscope will do that, but i might be wrong. let
me know.
also why buy aluminium leaf? why not use alu foil?

Very easy.
You can use aluminum leaf available at a sign maker.

It is easy to make an electroscope. Walk around store with your finger on the electrode and observe when you get charged. Wear a foil hat if you don't want to answer any questions.
