I agree with joe on this one. Keep an eye on it, and an ear out for any weird sounds. If the pieces in the filter were attracted to a magnet, then they are most likely "engine" components material, like maybe lifter material, cam lobe material, and not bearing material. Different metals between the bearings and engine components. Bronze bearing material is not magnetic.
