- Spark it on a grinding wheel nd note the color, shape and qty of sparks.
- Touch it to a magnet.
- Touch it with a file.
You can get a few more clues by finding out if it is magnetic, measure its specific gravity, see what kind of sparks it generates when pressed against a grinding wheel. These are all pretty easy to do.

And remember that the magnet test is not a yes or no regarding sst.
