Yes, most metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity.
Nails would not be the best choice. They are usually made of steel which is an iron alloy. Steel has a thermal conductivity between 36 - 52 W/(m K). Copper for example can range between 385 - 401 W/(m K). This means that copper is ten times better at being a thermal conductor as steel.

Does germanium conduct heat?
Germanium is a metal that does conduct heat, but does not conduct heat as well as other metals. This makes it a semiconductor.
Which meterial not conduct the heat?
Non-metals tend to not conduct heat
Does a penny spoon and nail all conduct electricity?
no
Does vacuum conduct heat?
No because there is nothing to conduct heat
Does water conduct heat well?
it does , conduct heat well , just like it conducts electricity , heat can be produced to electricity , too
Can a finger nail conduct electricity?
a nail is a conductor of electricity
Does a teapot conduct heat?
can a teapot conduct heat
Does germanium conduct heat?

Which meterial not conduct the heat?
Non-metals tend to not conduct heat
What happens when you add heat to an iron nail?
When you add heat to an iron nail it will get hot. If enough heat energy is added the nail could melt.
Does a penny spoon and nail all conduct electricity?
no
Can solar heat conduct electricity?
yes solar heat can conduct electricity
What materials conduct heat and which do not?
Insulators do not conduct heat and are therefore non-metals. Metals do conduct heat, and vey well may i add. But, for the record, you're thinking of electricity. Potatoes conduct heat, and they're not metals. Anyone who has held a lump in their hand will tell you that playdough conducts heat, in fact, rather a lot of other materials conduct heat and water also conduct heat
Does vacuum conduct heat?
No because there is nothing to conduct heat
Do gasses conduct heat?
yes gasses conduct heat :D the level of conductivity depends on the density of gas , the more dense it is the more will it conduct the heat .
Do inductors conduct heat?
conductors conduct heat and electricity, and insulators keep the heat in. inductors give away energy as heat.
Does water conduct heat well?
it does , conduct heat well , just like it conducts electricity , heat can be produced to electricity , too
