I have had a magnetic drain plug for a couple of years, and every time that I change my oil the drain plug has some metal "fuzz" on it, but probably about 1/2 what I see in this photo, with my oil changes about every 3,000 miles.

You might want to drop the sump plate and see if there is anything larger that didn't get trapped by the magnet. I did this recently just for peace of mind, and all was clear.

Good luck.
