do they contain metal?
It consists of Population II stars, to which astronomers refer to as heavier elements as metals and to the proportions of these elements as the metallicity.
Globular cluster
Globular clusters normally consist of Population II stars, which have a low proportion of elements other than hydrogen and helium when compared with Population I stars such as the Sun. Astronomers refer to these heavier elements as metals and to the proportions of these elements as the metallicity. 
how many globular clusters are in the milky way About 150 to 158 currently known what are these? It is a spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core.

Globular cluster [SEP] Metallic content
Globular clusters normally consist of Population II stars, which have a low proportion of elements other than hydrogen and helium when compared with Population I stars such as the Sun. Astronomers refer to these heavier elements as metals and to the proportions of these elements as the metallicity. These elements are produced by stellar nucleosynthesis and then are recycled into the interstellar medium, where they enter the next generation of stars. Hence the proportion of metals can be an indication of the age of a star, with older stars typically having a lower metallicity. The Dutch astronomer Pieter Oosterhoff noticed that there appear to be two populations of globular clusters, which became known as "Oosterhoff groups".
