Good news....absolutely zero metal flakes. None. I spent 20 minutes carefully reviewing the old filter.

*But*

I found 8 very small (1.5mm or less in diameter/length...6 of the 8 under 1mm) dark brown, translucent bits that basically look and feel like broken ???glass???.

Any ideas? Just really odd.

As always....thanks in advance for your input.
Most likely small bits of the sealant used in these engines, nothing to worry about.
