I think copper would be best for that, thick enough to be solid, while
thin enough to be able to emboss it with a dull nail or something...

After I had purchased several lovely copper plant marker "stands" to put
in the garden at row heads, my middle son said to me, "Mom, doesn't copper
kill plants? They use copper nails to spike trees to kill them."

Though I did no research to find out, I didn't use those lovely copper
stakes. Does anyone know if copper used this way is damaging to the
plants?
