All ferrous metals like iron, steel and to some extent stainless steel. Nickel and cobalt are magnetic too. Apart from these there are rare magnetic earths or rocks like 'neodymium'. Magnetite, which was first used by man as a magnetic material (for compass-like purposes) is an oxide of iron.
In New Zealand all our "copper" coins are magnetic. This would apply to the coins of any country where they contain high levels of nickel.
I once lived on a property in Queensland where lumps of 'gravel' would often cling to my spade ... the soil was heavily laden with magnetite!

What are the 5 metals that will attract to a magnet?
The only 3 elements that are magnetic are Iron, Nickel and Cobalt. Any other metals containing any of these elements (e.g. Steel contains Iron) will also be magnetic.
Why doesn't a magnet attract gold?
Gold isn't magnetic because of the electron configuration of the metal doesn't easily allow it to form a magnetic field. Some metals (notably Iron, Nickel and Cobalt) have the optimum configuration available for natural magnetic fields and therefore make ideal natural magnets. Some metals can display magnetic properties under certain conditions such as a change in temperature and the flow of electricity. This is the concept behind electromagnets where one can turn a magnet on/off to toggle its magnetic properties. For information read the related link.
What is the Name of 10 group A elements?
Columns 3-12 are transition metals.
What is the name of family 3 through 12 in periodic table?
transition metals
What are 3 non metals found in Coca-Cola?
Calcium, Potassium, Carbon, Hydrogen....to name only a few....
Are all metals magnetic and non metals are non magnetic?
Only actually 3 metals are magnetic, Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt, so not all metals have a magnetic quality
What are metals that are NOT magnetic?
Some examples of non-magnetic metals include aluminum, gold, silver, and copper. These metals are not attracted to magnets due to their specific atomic structures that don't allow for magnetic properties to develop.
Name at least three magnetic metals from the periodic table of the elements?
to describe earth's magnetic field, there are three magnetic elements of earth listed as under, 1. angle of declination 2. dip 3. horizontal component of earth's magnetic field

Which metals are not metals?
4 metals are not magnetic 1. Aluminium 2. Gold 3. Copper 4. Brass these metals can only be magnetised by very scientific work which i cannot understand 5. don't forget silver...
What is the name of 3-12 in the periodic table?
Transition metals.
What is the name for groups 3-12 on the periodic table?
Metals
What is the name of groups 3-12 name on the periodic table?
The groups from 3 to 12 are called transitional metals because the last two shells of the elements included in these groups are incompletely filled. They are also included in d-block.Groups 3 through 12 are called the transition metals or the d-block.
