Which metals are found naturally?
From what I learnt in A level chemistry, all discovered metals are found naturally, however their reactivity determines the purity in which you find them – so for example most answers here suggest you would find silver and gold and this is because they are fairly unreactive, therefore when you find them they are in highly pure and recognisable states. More reactive metals such as iron are found in ore which through processes can be purified. Some elements are very hard to find as they are unstable in molecular structure. The discovery of all elements (whether found pure or in compound) is summarised in the periodic table. Hope this helps with reactivity of metals.
