Copper is on the red side and gold on the yellow side.
Also nothing replaces experience. They do sell cheap testers on ebay. You have to be careful using the tester because the gold plating on electronics is very thin. If you check out the sticky thread on iding computer ewaste you will see items that have gold plated connectors and then you can compare to other unknown items. Mike.
