Default Piece of metal found on oil drain plug

Found this piece of metal (assume its steel) stuck to oil drain plug magnet. Drained the oil just after engine started making a continuous metallic knocking. Idles fine, noise definitely gets worse with rpm increase.

Can anyone ID what this might be a piece of? I'm thinking either distributor or cam gear. I will probably pull distributor and oil pan off tomorrow to have a look see.

Dart 351w block, MSD Pro Billet 8578 dizzy, Trick Flow stage 3 cam, Edelbrock Victor jr heads, not sure about rockers.
