The sludge wouldn't worry me but the magnetic shavings might....but even then not if there is only just one.
Mobil 1 always worries mo...use better oil...and *don't* skip oil changes. They are dead easy and cheap even...a half hour and $100. wtf would you not follow the schedule?
Still...calm down.
You have a LNS bearing so the *big* one probably isn't going to hit you anytime soon. You have already said the noise happens when you use the clutch so probably your throwout bearing is a bit dry. The noise is nothing to worry about by the way you describe it.
You sure that sliver is magnetic? Sometimes even a static charge will make it move. Was it stuck to your magnetic plug?
I would stop worrying and start running it hard.
