Search for Unknown Initial Value and then when you gain 10 gold, try Increased By 10.

If that doesn't work, do Unknown Initial Value an then when you gain 10 gold, try Changed Value.

After a couple increased or changed scans, you can try to get your gold value to match what it did during your initial scan.
Inside Scan Type, select Compare to First Scan and then search Unchanged Value (because it equals the first scan).

Just be sure to go back into Scan Type and select Compare to Last Scan when you go back to changing the value.

There are multiple ways to store some data.
You need to analyze the data that you have.

1) Does the value ever have a decimal part ?
if yes) then you probably need to search a "float" or "double"

2) If the value doesn't have a decimal, then you need to figure out the maximum amount that the value can hold.
if it's between 0 to 255, then search with "byte"
if it's 0 to (about) < 16'000 then 2 bytes
if it's > (about) 10^9 ) then 8 bytes
otherwise 4 bytes

3) when searching floats or doubles, never search with "exact value"
always search "between" -1 and +1 of the value you want to search for.

So for example you have: 36 money, and you know it's a float or a double, search for values between 35 and 37, never search for exact value 36, because of the conversion to integer you might see on screen a value of 36 and the float could be 35.999999999, so searching for exact value 36 would give you no results.

With one of the "round" options checked you could also scan for exact float/double values.
