Default Found pin in the oil pump please help me found out what it is!

Well this morning I was driving my car and all of a sudden I could here the valve's start ticking and drove it about a mile until I looked at the pressure light and there was no oil pressure so I parked it. I droped the front suspension and pulled off the pan and the oil pump shaft was broke. Well I looked in the oil pump and there was a little pin and there was another one in the oil pan. What do you think this could be I checked the timing chain and it wasn't from it. Could it be from a lifter? Here is a picture so you can tell what size they are please help me this is my daily driver!

I think you have a midget hockey team living in your motor and those are their hockey pucks in your blurry pic. Seriously, those 2 little round black things.........don't look like internal car parts that I know of. I keep blinking at that blurry pic.
