Try to get your hands on old high end spark plugs. They have platinum and sometimes iridium in them.

its a great place to go if they are new however if the plugs are used for a
descent amount of time or the plugs were fouled the platinum or
iridium(another precious metal) will not likely still be present i know
with my volvo the plug were fouled and the best sign was the tips were
toasted and oily you can clean them re-gap them and use in a ford or dodge
but the platinum is gone
Excellent! How do you get the platinum off?
Yet another gem! Great info!
Nice find, I have a box full that somehow never made to the trash,Thanks
for the tip!
