How can I tell if these bolts are stainless steel or not?

All I know is they're heavy feeling - and magnetic.
But how do I know if they're stainless short of purposefully rusting them
by dipping them in acid?
If the pic is of the actual bolts...
The bolts do not look like stainless - they look like low quality steel bolts plated with zinc. The manufacturing looks poor.
IMO, they are the 13 cent variety, not the $1.13 variety. Same for the nuts. They are the 5 cent variety, not the 55 cent variety.
There is low quality stainless but I have never seen that used in nuts and bolts. Threaded pieces are normally 18-8 or better and have better machining.
