So we know that Captain America’s shield is made from a Wakandan Vibranium-steel alloy that can only be destroyed by the strongest of forces (Doctor Doom used the power of the Beyonder to fire a Beam From Out of the Blue that killed many characters but only broke a piece off of the shield) but could Antarctic Vibranium (also known as anti-metal) dissolve the shield?

1the Antarctic-Vibranium produces vibrations that completely weaken a metal at a molecular level. So considering a shield made of vibranium-steel alloy (and not pure vibranium), it would definitely be damaged. However the pure vibranium shield would be strong enough to absorb the vibrations and stay put.– ShreedharCommented Mar 23, 2018 at 12:58

I thought it was proto-adamantium, not vibranium-steel...– OrangeDogCommented Mar 23, 2018 at 13:10

@Edlothiad for the record, that is specifically asking about magic, not anti-metal– AncientSwordRage ♦Commented Jun 17, 2020 at 10:27

1@AncientSwordRage in which case it's related and one can ignore the possibility of the dupe.– EdlothiadCommented Jun 17, 2020 at 11:14

From Black Panther vol 3 #29, where Black Panther defeats Klaw in his sonic form
Well if Antarctic Vibranium can't affect its Wakandan cousin, then it probably won't affect an alloy of Wakandan Vibranium. Therefore it would not destroy Captain America's shield.
Based on these images of Captain America Vol 1 #417, the barge shown below has anti-metal on it.
Below you can see Captain America's shield on a pile of the anti-metal and it didn't subsequently melt.
