A self-contained portable electrolytic testing device adapted to be used for quickly determining the presence of a given metal in a variety of metal alloys and characterized in that the device is of such size and lightweight construction that it can be readily carried in the hand of a user, said testing device comprising
- a housing adapted to be readily grapsed and carried in a person's hand,
- an electrical test circuit carried by said housing and including a storage battery and positive and negative electrodes electrically connected to said battery and extending outwardly from said housing,
- an electrolytic solution for use with said electrodes, said electrolytic solution being visually changeable in color upon detection of the presence of a given metal, and
- container means for containing and dispensing said electrolytic solution therefrom in small amounts and being carried by the housing to thus provide the electrolytic solution readily accessible for use with the electrical test circuit for quickly determining the presence of a given metal in a variety of metal alloys.

- a housing adapted to be readily grasped and carried in a person's hand,
- an electrical test circuit carried by said housing and including a storage battery and positive and negative electrodes electrically connected to said battery and extending outwardly in a substantially common direction from said housing,
- an electrolytic solution for use with said electrodes, said electrolytic solution being visually changeable in color upon detection of the presence of a given metal, and
- container means carried by said housing and positioned inwardly from said electrodes for containing a supply of said electrolytic solution therein, said container means having a dispensing spout projecting outwardly therefrom and from said housing and between said electrodes to thus provide the electrolytic solution readily accessible for use with said electrodes for quickly determining the presence of a given metal in a variety of metal alloys.
