    I just take my hatchet and scratch it, if it has a dull scratch>aluminum, if it has a shiny scratch>stainless. Aluminum does not reflect the light as well as stainless or other metals. Plus its soft, like comparing butter to ice, if all else fails, I take a wack at it with the hatchet and if it shaves off a nice chunk....voila aluminum. Plus if its something to pick up, you can tell by the weight.



    P.S. did I mention I love my hatchet lol

    Gotta love the multi-purpose tools that never need charging! Great tip.
