A number of metals were known to ancients because they could be found in their elemental form. We can list gold, copper, silver, lead and tin among the examples of these metals. As regards metals that are mixtures of metals (we call them alloys), brass (a copper and zinc alloy), bronze (a copper and tin alloy), and steel(an iron and carbon alloy) are among the better known.
