The traditional way to add metals to one's land is to park old, often inoperable, vehicles around the property. I don't have a '62 Valiant on the farm just for it's social cachet.

Mountain dweller, I've used a lab in WA, but they were rather expensive. I could dig the name out for you if you like.
On the question of Metal dust, the landscape supplies might have been using the term in the colloquial road construction sense, where 'metal' refers to crushed rock.
Wikipedia has the following "...Applying gravel, or "metalling," has had two distinct usages in road surfacing. The term road metal refers to the broken stone or cinders used in the construction or repair of roads or railways,[19] and is derived from the Latin metallum, which means both "mine" and "quarry"
...and I don't think cinders in this context refers to lightweight charcoal fragments.
Ahh, English...

Yesss. How can non-native speakers hope to really learn it, when it's barely comprehended by the (assumed) native-speakers. Spread something around the world and it will just naturally spawn landraces.
