Default Fancy a screw?

The other day I dropped a brass screw from an electical fitting (wire
clamping screw from a scoket). Fell near a screwdriver. And moved
towards it. Realised the magnetised screwdriver was attracting it. Must
be steel with a brass finish of some sort.

Kind of surprising I've never seen woodscrews which are similarly
constructed. Anyone seen such things?


A lot of those little packets of screws you used to get from hardware
shops in the 70s were like that, and usually marked as "brassed"
screws.
