Nailing Sign to Stone Wall?

I have a sand stone outside wall with cement between the stones. I need to hang a sign, approximately 36x24 inches to the wall. How do I do it?

Depending on what it is, I would use a cinder block nail. Your best bet is to take the sign and go to Lowes or Homedepot and ask someone there. Show them the sign you want to hang, explain to them the wall you want to hang it on and ask for suggestions.

I actually wouldn't nail it up. I would get the metal inserts that let you screw things up. You drill a hole, slip in the sleeve and then use the screw made for the sleeve. Usually these are used for hanging stuff on sheet rock walls and are made of plastic. But I found out the hard way about hanging with these things on sand stone that you use the ones made of metal. The plastic ones don't grip in stone. I think the metal is aluminum or something like it.
