That will vary inversely with the size/weight of the nails and directly with the strength of the magnet.
Magnets were an accidental discovery made by Chinese laborers when they discovered bits of polarized iron bits clung to their shovels. Magnets had many practical uses other than a mere curiosity. To show direction in compasses and to attract steel and iron. They have many practical uses even today. Construction, navigation, and to hold paper on refrigerators.
The only coins that are attracted to magnets are coins containing iron or steel, or a very high proportion of nickel. This includes many common coated-steel coins, and Canadian all-nickel 5-cent coins from the 20th century.
Magnets are objects that produce a magnetic field around them, attracting certain types of metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt. They have two poles, a north and a south pole, and opposites poles attract while like poles repel. Magnets are used in various applications such as in compasses, electric motors, MRI machines, and refrigerator magnets.
Magnets are used in a variety of places and applications such as MRI machines, electric motors, speakers, magnetic locks, and in everyday items like refrigerator magnets and compasses. The exact number of places where magnets are used is difficult to quantify due to the widespread usage in different industries and technologies.
11.6 ounces = 0.725 pounds.
Blades and nails
Iron and many steels also nickel.
Magnets are used in many ways. One of the most practical uses I know of is to 'sweep' shop floors picking up nails and other small parts that have dropped to the floor. There are many other ways to use magnets
Iron is found in many household items. One can find iron in nails, tools, bars, boxes, utensils, and many other everyday items. Many vehicles have iron too.
Nothing, Iron is a pure substance, an element. However, it can be used to make many things, form nails, to pokers, to bridges.
Magnets attract to iron because iron is a ferromagnetic material, meaning it can be magnetized. Paper, on the other hand, is not magnetic because it is not made of any magnetic materials that can be attracted to a magnetic field.

There are many records of nails in history. Not one particular person created them. Many different peoples created their own versions of nails for construction and other tasks.
One answer is iron, nickel, and cobalt. But many others are alloyed with them to make them stronger.
Magnets are made by aligning the magnetic domains of a material, such as iron or neodymium, through processes like heating or using strong magnetic fields. This alignment of domains creates a magnetic field in the material, giving it its magnetic properties.
12,000 iron pieces and around 7 million nails.
Examples: nails, sheets, wires, screws, nuts, knives and many others.
