In my experience there will be a glob of magnetic particles that form the consistency of Vaseline and will be about the size of half the nail on your little finger clinging to the magnet on the drain plug; the color will be dark grey. Is that kind of what you are seeing?
yes but more of a black color instead of a grey color
