Found this on my engine oil drain plug?

How concerned should I be?

I found this changing the oil over the weekend. There was more "fuzz" than usual on the magnetic drain plug and these two pieces were stuck on it.

Car is low mile 45k 1986 911 3.2 and unfortunately seldom driven. Aside from valve adjustments, no engine work ever. It sat for around 2 months before I went for a drive to warm up the oil prior to changing it. No strange noises coming from engine.

I plan to cut the oil filter tonight.
