That is a really good idea to put magnets on the outside of the filter can. That way they can catch debris before it gets embedded into the filter and out of sight.
I put a magnetic drain p0lug in my car, but to check it you loose a lot of oil. By taking off the filter can, you can check your magnets and filter, and only loose a half quart or so, of oil.
