Metal on drain plug?

Just changed the oil (6k interval) and found this on the magnetic plug. It just hit 37k miles.

Thoughts?

I'd be a little concerned that you're having pieces that big come out.

While you're at it take a sample of the oil and send it out to have it analyzed.

You could also cut open the oil filter to look for more big pieces of metal or send it off to a company that analyzes used oil filters.
