Sump pan removal and big surprises

Last spring I decided to remove sump pan and check baffles. Everything ok but a piece of camshaft chain roller at bottom of pan.
What a bad surprise..how long has it been sitting there...decided to have all chains replaced plus other things while engine was apart.
Never had any metal debris in oil filter.
Lesson 1 Do not trust your oil filter 100% for engine health
Lesson 2 check your sump pan once in a while, easy job that can prevent bigger job
