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.
