All metals are good conductors by their very nature. If you have a piece of metal which appears to not be conducting, maybe it has a layer of clear varnish on it which is preventing a good contact. The copper wire used for winding coils might look like bare copper, for example, but actually has a thin layer of varnish which must be scraped off where an electrical contact is required.
