How can you tell if a wire is palladium?

I just processed an old reel to reel and i was a little disappointed when all of the wires looked aluminum, but now i want to know for sure that they aren't something of more value.

I have dealt with a few, I ask for $20 to remove them and then it gets a good shove off the truck which helps soften them up nicely, any bothersome chunks go straight in the burn barrel..some old ones cough up some good brass. Happy bashing ( there are no woodshops left in my area..)
