Silver is a metal so I guess you mean iron or steel.
• If it is magnetic it is not silver.
• Silver conducts heat/cold very well. if you put a solid silver object in hot water it will transmit the heat to your fingers quicker than steel.
• You can buy small bottles of acid to test for gold and silver online for less than $10
• If it's big enough you can do an archimedes test by measuring how much water it displaces and finding its density by comparing its volume to weight.

What would you tell engineer who has suggested a design for a new battery using silver for both electrodes?
There must be a difference between the electrodes. If both are silver metal the voltage will be zero. I don't know if it works with silver like it does with lead, but oxidizing the metal of one electrode might make a workable battery (a silver/silver oxide battery like the lead/lead oxide of the lead acid battery).
