Elisha didn't make the iron float. God created it through a miracle. That would explain how there was iron during the bronze age, if God created it for a purpose.

How can you make a piece of iron metal float?
if u made the piece ofmetal hollow it can float unless its density is larger than the water densityANSWER:If you make it displace more water than what makes it sink, it will float, as in a ships hull. If you make pontoons out of it, it will float. If you make an enclosed shape that contains enough air, it will float. There should be less density in the item than the water.

Is there any fluid dense enough to float a piece of iron or is it possible to make water dense enough to float the iron by adding salt to it?
-- The density of iron near room temperature is around 7.9 gm/cc, whereas at the same temperature, mercury is liquid with a density around 13.5 gm/cc. A lump of iron will float nicely in a bowl of mercury at room temperature. -- Don't forget that aircraft carriers and battleships are also pieces of iron, and that they float nicely in water.
What miracle did Elisha perform to recover the ax head?
He made it float on water.2Ki 6:1-7 WEB The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.

He showed him the place. He [Elisha] cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float. (v.7) He [Elisha] said, "Take it." So he [the one who dropped the axe] put out his hand and took it.
Which physical characteristics will determine if an object can float on water?
Density and shape. It is easy enough to make a boat out of iron. We all know that Iron is heavier than water, but by shaping it we can make the shape so that its volume inside could hold more weight of water than its own weight. That way, it will float. If a materials density is less than the density of water, then it will float no matter what.
