The metal must be able to conduct an electromagnetic charge.
The most common types of metal that can conduct the charge are, Iron, Cobalt, and Nickel.
Now there are places in the world that naturally have good sources of electromagnetic energy. However there are plenty of machines that provide the same benefit.
Have you ever wondered why you can put magnets onto your refrigerator? Even if your refrigerator is mostly made of plastic and/or foam, it somehow produces enough energy to attract a magnet. The iron coils in the back emit electromagnetic energy, that distributes around the entire fridge, allowing magnets to stick on like magic.
Magnets have two poles, positive energy, and negative energy. Or (going back to science class) Electrons and Protons of atoms. When a piece of iron is exposed to a high percentage of electromagnetic energy the electrons and protons will become charged.
In order to craft a magnet, a piece of iron, cobalt or nickel could simply be hit by a bolt of lightning, or shocked from a generator.
However be very careful when creating a magnet. If it is done in a hazardous fashion the magnet could create explosions or malfunctioning of electrical equipment. Magnets can destroy computers, and even devastate telephone Transformers. Magnets can also screw with radio signals or compasses and make them malfunction.
If you are curious as to where you can find magnets in everyday life here are a few things engineers and scientists use magnets for today:

Lead is not typically used in magnets. Magnets are usually made from materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. Lead is not a magnetic material and is not commonly used in the production of magnets.
Man-made or Synthetic magnets are stronger than natural magnets and have many uses including alternative medicine (magnet therapy for Arthritis & Rheumatism), fridge/car magnets, they are also widely used in manufacturing. Made from a Nickle, Aluminium and cobalt (AlNiCo) compound they are magnetized by placing them in a machine which produces a strong electromagnetic field.
Magnets are typically made of materials that are magnetic, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. Materials that are not magnetic, such as wood, plastic, and glass, are not found in magnets.
No, magnets do not contain glue. Magnets are made of materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt that have their atoms aligned in such a way that they create a magnetic field. Glue is sometimes used to attach magnets to other objects or surfaces.
Not all magnets are made of metal. There are various types of magnets, including ceramic magnets (made of ferrite), neodymium magnets (made of neodymium, iron, and boron), and even electromagnetic magnets that are not made of metal.
magnetism
magnets can be made destroyed or broken apart
Magnets is made of iron. Magnets are attracted to anything made out of iron.
todays magnets are made of alloys yahoo answered this question too. :)
its made out of magnets
since magnets are all ready magnetised when found in nature called natural magnet artificial magnets that are made by man are called artificial magnets
Magnets.
Yes, and no. Magnets originally come from the earth but humans found what the were made of and created their own
no its made of magnetic materials

Permanent magnets.
