I don't believe titanium is magnetic. Stainless steel is magnetic (unless it is austenitic grade). If you have a magnet on a stick (available at auto parts stores and hardware stores all over) you can try to stick the magnet to the valve (through the hole). This is a pretty weak method of testing. I personally think it is highly unlikely that the valves in your engine are stainless. For the cost of the valves and the trouble it is to get them out, you might as well order some up and do the job right all at once.
Good luck.
