Metals have very high specific heat capacities; it is one of their characteristics. It is why a piece of metal will stay hot after being around a heat source for a long time.
Among common substances, gases typically have the lowest specific heat capacities. For example, helium has one of the lowest specific heat capacities of all elements.

No, metal with high heat capacity will not necessarily raise the temperature of water more than a metal with low heat capacity. Heat capacity is a measure of the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount, so a metal with higher heat capacity can hold more heat energy but may not necessarily transfer it more efficiently to the water. The efficiency of heat transfer depends on factors like conductivity and surface area of the metal.
