Amongst the alloys found in native state have been brass, bronze, pewter, German silver, osmiridium, electrum, white gold, and silver-mercury and gold-mercury amalgam. Only gold, silver, copper and the platinum metals occur in nature in larger amounts.Over geological time scales, very few metals can resist natural weathering processes like oxidation, which is why generally only the less reactive metals such as gold and platinum are found as native metals.mongst the alloys found in native state have been brass, bronze, pewter, German silver, osmiridium, electrum, white gold, and silver-mercury and gold-mercury amalgam.

It should say 'Fe'. 'Fe' as found in 'fe'rrous. Ferrous things contain iron because the metal 'iron' is represented by the symbol Fe. Something non-ferrous is devoid of iron. Thus, a non-ferrous metal is a metal (or a mixture of two or more metals) that contains inconsequential amounts or no amount of iron. They are therefore nonmagnetic and don't rust like ferrous metals do.
