Narrative:
On normal approach to runway 12R in normal landing confign, gear/flaps down, at 500 ft started getting aural warning 'too low gear,' continuously. Confirmed gear was down with 3 greens, but captain elected to go around because he could not find the nose gear peg on the console. Normal go around was accomplished. Gear was recycled and confirmed down again by 3 greens and nose gear peg. At 500 ft aural warning was received again until 50 ft above the runway, I made a nice soft landing, and item was reported to maintenance at the gate.
