I believe they won't rust, that is until you take them out and they get air.
When I was a kid, we were out on Race Point near Hatch's. We were bored so by little brother drew a random circle in the sand and said lets dig. Dig we did and we unearthed a monstorous hunk of rotted ship wreck. In it was this old spike that was as bright as the day they put it in the wood. Within a day of it being out of the salt water, it was nothing more than a block of rust.
