Default Reading filter media in an oil filter after cut open

I cleaned out the garage and had two filters saved for 6 months. I found the oil can opener too. Does anybody have pictures of whats acceptable? They sat for 6 months so there was some slightly shiny residue in the bottom but couldnt feel anything rubbing between my fingers. Nothing like the magnet in a bravo, however, there was some very fine matter. After cutting open the media, there was some very fine particulate barely visible to the eye. Both were identical, so I assume its fine. Oil is Amsoil Dominator 15-50 weight

How much is too much?

Put the debris on a white paper. Is it silver or gold? Take a picture and post it.
