The earth has all the ELEMENTAL metals on the periodic chart that are not man-made.
Many of these elements are trace metals that came from outer space --such as all the rhodium, gold and platinum. But they're all here unless we bombarded nuclei to create some short-lived heavy ones.
Hydrogen seems to be the most common element in the universe -- get it cold enough and compact enough, and it, too, is a metal.

it depends on if you are counting alloys
if you are talking pure metals, then all the metals possible (check out the periodic table) are found in some quantity in the earth
