Changed the oil (first time)

I just changed the oil on my 400 auto for the first time and found metal shavings in the oil, and on the magnetic drain plug. Anyone else notice this on the first oil change? Anything to worry about? Thanks.

This is normal during break-in. The edges and little flashings get knocked off. You might find a little bit next time too. But after than it usually means something bad is happening.
