Sigh. Always test cast iron of unknown history. Any wall mounting tips lol?

If you use a test on a pan that is known to have not have been exposed to lead, is it still positive? I've heard that some of these tests are designed to give false positives so that they do not give false negatives, but I do not have a source for that and it would be bad to assume it to be true without evidence.

Yes I did test against known pans and it came up negative :/
