Elements Z Zinc and Zirconium

Zinc is fairly common or garden, surely someone has some Galvanised something or other lying around sheds/garages to bring forward with a photo.

Zirconium be creative...

While Chez falcon is no metalworking , or d.i.y treasure trove, just bothering to look has come up with these items of largely indeterminate zinc quantity. A couple of galvanised items. Firstly a scrap bit of galvanised sheet which was once 8ft/4ft from Stan Dawsons Yard at Prudhoe, and secondly probably the most beautifully composed photograph of a single galvanised roofing nail on the world wide web.

The third is a Brass Cannon turned by the juvenile Falcon's own fair hand. Being brass probably consists of around one third Zinc/two thirds Copper. Everyone surely has a piece of brass in the home.

Frank Zappa referenced Zircon Encrusted Tweezers in two of his songs "Dyna-Moe-Humm" and "Montana" on the album "Apostrophe".
