Try Gallium (element 31) solid at room temperature then at body heat (29.85 C) it melts rather like chocolate.
Bismuth (elemnt 83) a metal that forms very unusual square pyramid (ridged crystals).
Technitium (Element 40) a metal that has no stable isotopes son can never be kept it is the ONLY unstable element in the
first 5 rows of the periodic table.
AND TALCUM (TALC) IS NOT A METAL it is a MINERAL

Cobalt.
Every three years, a certain large steel manufacturer casts an ingot of a particular steel alloy. As I recall, it's 30 tonnes and contains 3% cobalt. In the years they cast it, world cobalt prices jump 10%.
Also, anything at the bottom end of the periodic table (I mean the bit that's normally chopped off) will be hard to find, cos you'd need to break into a nuclear lab to get your hands on 'em.

Magnesium- can't get water on it could start a fire. I use to haul the stuff for metal plants. Scary. Titanium is another one. Very strong metal. You can't bury and expect it to deteriorate. It doesn't rust or oxidize. Tough stuff. It does crack in cold weather though.

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

Also Tc, Technetium number 43, which was the first synthetically produced element. It has only been seen naturally in red giant stars.

Mercury is funny... its liquid at room temprature and when places in the beaker u measure it up not down for example water when you measure it in a cup u go to the bottom of the curved line... but for mercury the line goes up! so you measure there..

Mercury is an interesting metal, because it is liquid at room temperature.

Osmium because it is the most dense naturally occuring metal on Earth.
