The best sounding metals cannot be used in them.

At best they are brass but must have something to maintain contact with the surrounding materials. Of course, copper oxide is a very bad contact area as it is a poor conductor. Silver is best but too soft. Copper is also very soft.

Nature's metals are not very good in uses for audio for removable connections.
