Metal in filter

2000 996 C4. I just pulled the oil filter and opened it up and ran across all the folds in the filter with a powerful rare earth magnet. I got the tiniest bit of metal particles that the magnet picked up. Very fine, and if spread out they might be about a 1/8 inch circle. Is any amount of metal in the filter acceptable, or am I beginning to see the IMS bearing disintegrating?
