It is unclear what you mean in your question. It was easy to identify the mercenaries because they were hired and paid by the military commanders. If they were not paid they would cause trouble.

What mineral did roman soldiers receive as their pay?
The ancient Roman scholar Pliny the Elder thought that the word salarium (salary) came from salarius (salt), and said this was because in the old days soldiers were paid in salt. However, he wriote in the mid-first century A.D. and was referring to a nonspecific and hazily remembered distant past. This was unlikely to have been the case. At most the soldiers would have received an allowance for the purchase of salt, probably because the price of salt was liable to increase at times of military conflict. The ancient Roman historian Livy wrote that pay for the soldiers was introduced in 405 B.C. when Rome decided to besiege the neighbouring Etruscan city of Veii. Livy also said that this pay was called stipendium and that a tax, which was called tributum, was raised to fund this pay. The soldiers were paid with money. The first mention of the amount of money the soldiers received was by the Greek scholar Polybius, who, writing in the second century B.C., said that they were given two (Greek) oboli per day which was the equivalent of 100 Roman asses a month.

What tools did soldiers use?
I wonder if you mean weapons, rather than tools? The majority of ancient Egyptian infantry soldiers carried a simple spear with a bronze or copper head, plus a shield of wood and cow-hide. Some carried axes or knives as secondary weapons; there were also war-clubs and throwing-sticks. Light troops included archers, slingers and javelin-throwers; these were often mercenary or auxiliary soldiers from conquered or allied nations. Swords were less common, being used mainly by officers, bodyguard units, marines, units of priestly warriors and so on. The links below take you to images of ancient Egyptian soldiers:
