Some more research might have disclosed the presence of various elements on hand or obtainable at reasonable cost. Somw time on Wikipedia produced 16 potential sourcces:
Catalytic converters usually contain palladium, rhodium, platinum, or cerium, so a reference to a car would probably acquire one of those.
Americium is used in smoke detectors.
Tungsten can be found in permanent magnets, incandescent bulbs, cathode ray tube filaments, and integrated circuits (computer chips.
Hafnium can also be found in Intel and IBM chips.
Vacuum tubes, if you can find one, will usually have a barium residue on the interior resulting from the manufacturing process. It is used to chemically remove the last reactive gases within the tube. Spark plugs also often contain a barium-nickel alloy.
The most likely sources of cesium would be a two-electrode vacuum tube, an OCR reader, or a video camera tube.
Toyota used lanthanum batteries in the Prius, so if if you had access to one of those, you could refer to the battery.

Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth.
Europium is used in fluorescent bulbs.
Terbium can be found cathode ray tubes.
Erbium is used in camera filters.

You-ve missed some elements:
Antimony in ball earrings
Palladium in ceramic capacitors
Lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium in the flint of lighters
Neodymium in neodymium magnets
Molybdenum in saw blades
Lead in some soldering wires you don-t need to use bolts as representations btw
Uranium can be found in tiny trace amounts in carrots due to natural uranium in soil
Europium, gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium can be found in phone screens, you missed 2 of them
Thorium can be found in tiny amounts in kitty litter
Americium can be found in most smoke detectors
Ytterbium is sometimes mixed in stainless steel to make stainless steel pipes
Rhenium can be found in tiny trace amounts in cabbages
You could-ve got 81-

For rare earth metals, your Iphone or a CD/DVD would cover a lot of them.
I actually had a piece of lead at hand. If you have a car whose catalytic converter contains platinum, you're OK with that, too.
For polonium, you may go either to the National Library of France or to any uranium ore mine. The same applies for any element of the uranium-radium decay chain, Np and even Pu.
For Am, Cm and even Cf you may visit the NASA.
Above 100, if you work in the GSI Helmholtz Centre (in Darmstadt, Germany, that would make things somewhat easier.
If you go to Chernobyl you may get some radioactive stuff, too. It has become considerably harder though, with the outbreak of the war.

-sigh- You should have talked to a geologist. Many rocks, ores, and gems contain trace amounts of the elements you couldn't find. If you were using a nut for lead then you could have used rocks, ores, and gems to represent other elements. I also don't know why you used nuts for lead, solder has lead as does a lead acid battery. Also, molybdenum could have been represented by the nut since it is used to harden alloys.

I think Rhodium in Jewelry stuff and gadolinium attracts to Magnets and Polonium, oh you think that polonium is not that toxic, HA HA HA should i remind you huh? ,so you think polonium is not deadly, well you are WRONG and Polonium is so toxic is toxic than the other element and polonium is having Radiation poisoning and Having radiation alpha Beta and Actual Gamma rays And its killing a million peoples bye-

Some elements your forgot
Lanthanum, Cerium, and praseodymium can be found in lighters
Americium can be found in smoke detectors (Americium also decays into Neptunium)
Uranium was used in some old Plates and cups
Radium decays into Radon and Polonium (There is probably only like 1 or 2 atoms of it)
Bromine is used in small amounts of Mountain Dew
Good video though -

Funny I had that idea but I was like where can I get einsteinium it happens after bombs do I need to creat a bomb and explode it and also platinum plutonium how do I contain gases uranium so many dollars not alone their radioactive proportions if you get rid of radioactiveness of uranium then that might work and also come to America where you can have literal mini guns

Americium is one of the few radioactive elements many people have in their homes. You can find it in some smoke detectors. Im not sure if theyre legal in Canada since they-ve been proven to be not super effective (theyre the kind of smoke alarm that goes off when you burn toast, especially given in the last 5 or so years we-ve tried phasing them out here in the US.

Mendeleev's periodic table was based on the fact that The properties are a periodic function of their atomic mass while the periodic table we study is based upon the MORDEN PERIODIC LAW, which is the chemical and physical properties of elements are the periodic function of their atomic numbers (And was given by Moseley in 1913 from his x rays studies.

Americium (Am) is easy to get, used in smoke detectors. Uranium-containing rocks are also in gem stores and emit mostly alpha radiation which is easily shielded. Bismuth is found in Pepto Bismol, which may help after that egg sandwich. ;-)

Wait -til he finds out that the -Neon- sign didn-t have neon in it, it was most likely argon as it glows purple. If it was neon it would have glowed a bright red-orange.

That is not impossible, I have 85 and they are all 99. 999% Pure and I even have rare ones such as polonium radon and tritium and I will even manage to collect 90 of them

Ruined it by massive overreaction to an egg & cheese sandwich. You hardly put it in your mouth b4 pretending to retch! At least make challenges actually challenging

did he get uranium or plutonium? those are pretty easy ones to find without killing yourself. think there might be a few others i didn't hear mentioned.

So this woman can either have all the leftover budget money. Or watch some guy eat a sandwich and suffer. And she choose the suffer option. That-s cold.

No need to bother looking for so many chemical elements, because your body contains more than half the number of chemical elements.
