Magnets are conductors of electricity. If the magnets are made
of a metal alloy, such as samarium cobalt, they become excellent
conductors of electricity.

Ask yourself this: have you ever held a magnet? Then there has
been a magnet in your environment.
If you mean to ask if there are naturally ocurring magnets, the
answer is also yes. Neodymium and Samarium-Cobalt are the two most
common.

Iron and alloys containing iron.
Answer:
Iron, nickel and cobalt and their alloys are the common metals that attract magnets. Also, the rare metals gadolinium, neodymium and samarium attract magnets.

Cobalt is ferromagnetic, but considerably less so than iron.
Alloys of cobalt such as aluminium, nickel, cobalt and iron, known
as Alnico, and of samarium and cobalt (samarium-cobalt magnet) are
commonly used to make high quality permanent magnets.

Yes, pure nickel is one of the few metals that's ferromagnetic;
i.e. it's attracted to a magnet and can itself be magnetized. Iron
and cobalt are the only other two common ferromagnetic metals.
Gadolinium, neodymium and samarium are the remaining metals.
