Do not identify unknown dense metals casually. Determine equipment source and function first, then use non-destructive or analytical testing appropriate to the suspected material. Consider toxicity and handling risks, particularly with lead-bearing materials. Keep unknown metal isolated until identification is sufficiently reliable.
