Hi, thanks for all you do and have helped me with today, slightly in advance. I am hoping that you can help me identify the content in samples that I have containing gold, palladium, platinum, rhodium and possibly others. Looking to learn more about the samples I've collected.

Thank you for reaching out, OSU does not provide this service as far as verification through testing. The testing would have to be performed by a private facility - here were some options that I found https://www.thomasnet.com/oregon/metallurgical-testing-services-84848597-1.html
You may also have some luck working with a rock and mineral shop for identification since these are smaller samples.
