Could someone please explain to me the idea of M state metals, or Mon-atomic metals, I've heard that they were High Spin superconductors and that when heated they loose weight, so much so that the scale they are placed on reads negative.

So, my questions are: How is this possible, and Why on Earth have I not heard of this until now?

Welcome to PF.
I've never heard of either "m-state metals" or "high spin superconductors". Searching for both of these terms turns up a bunch of new-age/pseudoscience sites. As does most hits for "mon-atomic metals".

So the short answer is: These things are not real.

Heard where? You need to provide a citation to your source if you want to get a meaningful response.

What you are looking for may be anything from a real, but extremely obscure concept (low likelihood), to a Podkletnov lookalike, to complete and outright quackery (more likely).
