copper nails
Metal roofing pins
Copper nails are nails made from copper, valued for their corrosion resistance in wet environments.
They're commonly used in roofing, boat building, and outdoor construction where steel nails would rust.
Copper nails also appear in a folk method for killing trees—driven into the trunk, the copper supposedly poisons the tree over time, though effectiveness is debated.
