Hmmm... things not already named. I think I can come up with a few more...
Zinc batteries
- zinc is used for its electrical properties
Copper wiring (electrical, telephone, cable, etc) and plumbing
- copper has good tensile strength and is fairly cheap
Iron nails and screws
- iron is strong and cheap
Steel locks and deadbolts
- steel is strong and less brittle than iron
Tin and aluminum cans containing foods or beverages
- do not leave metallic tastes in the food, aluminum is lightweight and cheap
Fluorescent lights containing mercury
- mercury vapor emits light when the tube is electrified
Regular light bulbs containing tungsten
- extremely high melting point
Depending on your AC system, your thermostat may have a mercury switch
- mercury is a liquid at room temperature and seeks a level
Various brass or brass-plated items (candlesticks, chandeliers, doorknobs, cutlery, etc)
- attractive and not too expensive

metals in what sense? Alloys or pure elements. Elemental or nearly pure metals would be quite rare more common would be metal alloys which are mixture of metal and other metals or other compunds.
Some common metals:-
coins - depending on colour the could be copper-nickel alloy.
silver fillings in your teeth - a mercury amalgam
saucepan - may be stainless steel with a copper base
frying pan - aluminium
wok - mild steel or carbon steel
Hope thats a start for you

The photographs final for roughly 10 yrs. i think of. it is why you do not pay attention of any situations anymore. You get it from an infection once you have decrease by rusty gadgets. Ask your checklist. the subsequent time you circulate.
