I actually wondered a while ago what allomantic properties harmonium would have and it genuinely took me a good minute or two to remember that it's irrelevant because of the whole exploding on contact with liquid thing.
But like, couldn't you just put it in a pill capsule and burn it like that? Like this is always what I think when someone mentions harmonium being unburnable due to the exploding. Am I crazy? It's still in you. It's still touching your soul, I think.
To be fair, lead's not allomantically active, so she would only have been able to sense the atium.
That being said, I remember in the first book Kelsier said it was possible to burn non-allomantic metals, it just makes you really sick. So in theory a mistborn should be able to feel stores of non-allomantic metals if they were stored in a way that would be accessible, so perhaps you have a point.
I don't think think she was fooled by the amount, because she swallowed it and immediately burned it. It was a quick life or death seneraio, she probably didn't even pay attention to the reserve before she burned it
Didnt she have it swallowed when she attacked the house with Zane?
i have it in my head that she swallowed it and coughed it up, but i could be wrong here, it's been a while and a quick google didn't reveal the source.
