See how much of the material is ferrous and let's go from there.

In my rod bearing event , there was copper/gold debris in the pan and the LN spin-on filter.There were two larger pieces on the oil pickup screen. Next place to investigate will be the oil pump and scavange pumps.
Interesting was a large (almost a teaspoon size)soft lump of black sludge (Moly powder?) on the LN magnetic drain plug. I am wondering if that blocked the oil gallery/feed to the rod bearing. Only a complete teardown ,clean and inspection will tell.
I am determined to find the cause of the problem instead of just muttering about P cars. I'll post photos of what I find so it adds to the fund of knowledge on the Forum.
