Nails in plastic compost bin

Six months ago I moved house. In my new house there was a plastic compost bin with    

many nails (or screws?) inside the compost, so I ignored this bin completely and started a new one.  I looked in the plastic bin today and all the nails seem to have disappeared and there is just good compost. I do not understand, can anybody explain how this happened, have they decomposed?

    Mari, I have never heard of that before. I'm sure even small nails would take decades to rust away. Ask Verdun, if its possible he will know.
