Copper nail knocked in does the trick Adam

Fallacy
Tested with 10x 4inch copper nails into base of sycamore 5 years ago and it still lives

Where do you get 'copper nails' from? I'd guess they're quite
difficult to knock in too as copper is decidedly soft.

Only if it is very pure, and not if it is cold-worked. Or perhaps
"copper" nails are actually bronze? 5% tin won't add much to the cost
but will make them as strong as steel.
