The "trick" is what kind of metal you find. There are lots of light alloy sources in the M96 (block, heads, pistons, bearing shells, etc.), but only a limited number of ferrous sources; these include the crank, piston rings, valves & springs, the cams and followers, cam chains, the oil pump, and of course the IMS bearing. If you were to find any significant amount of ferrous debris in the oil filter (stuff you can pick up with a magnet), I would seriously consider taking the car out of service until you can determine the source; to do otherwise is to invite disaster…………..
