Elemental lead and elemental iron won't react with each other.
Lead NITRATE will react with iron; if you mix elemental iron with lead nitrate, you will get ferric nitrate and elemental lead.
If you were to suspend a piece of iron and a piece of lead in an electrolyte like seawater, you could make a bad battery - the two metals are only 0.3 volts apart on the galvanic scale.

When lead reacts with iron, the lead displaces the iron in the reaction, forming lead(II) oxide and liberating iron. The reaction tends to be slow at room temperature due to the passivation of iron by the formation of a thin oxide layer on its surface.
When acid rain touches iron, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the iron to corrode or rust. The acid in the rain reacts with the iron to form iron oxide, which weakens the metal and can eventually lead to its deterioration and structural damage.
When iron reacts with sulfur, they form iron sulfide. This chemical reaction creates a compound with a blackish color and a characteristic metallic luster. Iron sulfide is commonly found in nature as the mineral pyrite.
When lead reacts with iron(II) sulfate, two possible reactions can occur: lead displaces iron in iron(II) sulfate, forming lead(II) sulfate and iron metal. Alternatively, lead can also displace iron in iron(III) sulfate, resulting in lead sulfate and iron metal. These reactions depend on specific conditions such as temperature, concentration, and presence of other ions.
When iron(II) sulfate reacts with copper powder, a displacement reaction occurs where the copper replaces the iron in the compound. This results in the formation of iron powder and copper(II) sulfate. The reaction is: FeSO4 + Cu --> CuSO4 + Fe.
When dilute sulfuric acid reacts with iron, iron sulfate and hydrogen gas are produced. The chemical equation for this reaction is: Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) -> FeSO4(aq) + H2(g)
