Simple qualitative wet chemical tests for vanadium are usually based on the V being present as vanadate. You will need to powder your sample and fuse it with a mixture of sodium carbonate and nitrate and then dissolve in water.

Attached, are a couple of tests for the presence of vanadate;

The image came from "Google Books" after searching for "vanadium qualitative tests"

It's "Advanced Quantitative Analysis" by Hobart Willard, 468 pages - not sure when it was initially published. Here's an Amazon link;

http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Quantitative-Analysis-Hobart-...

You may have to cut and paste that link!
