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.
What is the name of family 3 through 12 in periodic table?
transition metals
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.
Cobalt iron and nickel are known as?
Cobalt, iron, and nickel are known as the iron group elements. They are transition metals with similar chemical properties and are commonly found together in nature, often used in industrial applications due to their magnetic properties and strength.
3 characteristics for rare earth metals?
Rare earth metals are typically difficult to extract due to their low concentrations in the Earth's crust, they have unique magnetic and luminescent properties that make them ideal for use in technology, and they are essential components in the production of high-tech devices like smartphones, electric car batteries, and wind turbines.
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.
Are all metals magnetic and non metals are non magnetic?
Not all metals are magnetic; while some metals like iron, nickel, and cobalt are magnetic, others like aluminum and copper are not. Similarly, some nonmetals like oxygen and hydrogen are diamagnetic (very weakly repelled by magnetic fields), while others like carbon and sulfur are diamagnetic as well. Therefore, the magnetic properties of an element do not depend solely on whether it is a metal or nonmetal.
What are the 3 most common magnetic metals?
The three most common magnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt. These metals are widely used in various applications, including in the production of magnets and magnetic materials.
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 are the only three naturally occurring magnetic metals?
The three naturally occurring magnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt. These metals have strong magnetic properties due to their atomic structure, which allows them to align their magnetic domains and create a magnetic field.
What are 3 ferrous metals?
