Default Metal Chunk in Oil

Found this today. Any clue what it may have come from or how much I should be worried? First oil change w/ the magnetic plug (clearly worth the money), so I'm not sure if this is a new issue. I happened to save the filter from the last oil change. I cut both open, and there's a few slivers and a little glitter this time, but not much. nothing notable in the older one.

2020 5.0, 6 speed w/ Roush Blower

I don’t know what that is but that’s a big chunk of metal to find in the pan. Hard to tell from the photo but perhaps a chunk off of a bearing?
