Gold, palladium and Platinum Scrap

I am a retired orthodontist and I have a large box of scrap metal bands used to straighten teeth that are a mixture of metals. I believe they are gold, palladium, and platinum. I would like to know where, how to sell them. Perhaps I need to know how to get the composition of the metals analyzed.

Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
