I read that tin doesn't give off sparks when grinding and steel does. I guess using a grinding wheel would be the best way to check.

I think in some/most instances "tin" is being used to refer to what should actually be called "light iron" (less than 1/8"). Tin is a chemical usually used to coat another metal such as steel which results in what is called a tin can. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any example of pure tin.

People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
