Oops... I hope it was not a long fence.
The stainless steel ring-shank nails are very thin, almost like pins.
You might be able to just nail in beside the existing nails that are
there and then pull the other nails, or just leave them in there.
I just put together about 400' of fencing with ACQ lumber and I noticed
that the tags from the manufacture had been stapled on with steel
staples, but were quickly falling off because of corrosion from the
copper.
