@luana@wetdry.world it's difficult, proper tests require destruction of the object for chemical analysis, though you could heat it up to 400c ish and if it doesn't melt it's silver, and I was also thinking of maybe some oxidation test as cadmium oxide is a different color than silver oxide.
it's better to be safe than sorry though, especially if it was like a couple bucks it is not unlikely that it was actually cadmium, as it has the same silvery appearance
