unless cared for all the time -the first years all metals might become cheaper as you said -but after a while all teh good bits will corrode and rust away .
true - a craftsman who works metal will be rich .The smith.

I think gold, and other precious metals, and gems will be pretty much useless outside of surviving major cities. As its been said, you can't eat gold or diamonds.
I think small arms ammo will become more valuable than gold. Even with a .22 you can kill a rabbit and have a meal.
