One thing to do would be to test if it floated or not. You could try heating it; lead melts at 327 C. You can also test its density by seeing how much water it displaces and weighing it.

One common method to test if something is made of lead is using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. This portable device can quickly determine the elemental composition of an object, including the presence of lead. Another method involves using a lead testing kit, which typically involves swabbing the object with a testing solution that changes color in the presence of lead. Alternatively, you can consult a professional laboratory for more accurate and precise testing.
