<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26640952, member: 13650&quot;]An XRF tester would be your best bet but they are very expensive and few places have one.&nbsp;&nbsp; Next best thing would find somebody with a Sigma machine.&nbsp;&nbsp; They come with wands that you can plug in to test larger items like this and it&#039;d probably give you a good idea as to what they test out as.&nbsp; You set the machine for the metal you want it to look for and just press the plugged in wand onto it and the arrow moves under a bar on the screen to either red or green indicating it is what is being tested or not.</p><p>&nbsp; Short of that there are minor destructive tests that you can get for silver if you scrape a little off and put a drop on the plate to see if it holds up.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you put a sheet of kleenex over it, the metal should appear bright white under the kleenex indicating the surface is at least silver, because it reflects light so well.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also a rare earth magnet will show a slight attraction to it.&nbsp; There should be a subtle pull to it if you move it around it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If you bring them to a place buying silver they&#039;ll likely have something to test them for you, even if you end up declining their offer.&nbsp; They&#039;ll probably want to drill into them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
