Test :Metals usually conduct electricity. You could see if you could run a battery thru the metal wire.If the battery is gonna be working then it's a conductor however if it doesn't it's an insulator.

Another tip If you put a metal spoon in a glass of ice water, it will get cold. A non-metal spoon (say a plastic one) will not.

If you will use these tips for tests you'll find out if the substance you are looking for is a non metal or a metal. Good Luck and thanks for watching.
