Technically - all of the elements in group 1 are metals. Group 1 is Alkali Metals -- even Hydrogen is in there; since it can become (in theory) a metal at extreme pressure.
The rest of the group 1 is: Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium. All are typically stored in mineral oil in normal environmental conditions.
Lithium (Li, 3) would be my 'choice' to pick one - since it would be the 'first' real metal under normal conditions - it is also the lightest metal and the least dense solid element.
