I'll throw this out there, but thankfully I haven't gottten into this field of BOAT yet....just knocked on wood, if it's metal, the magnet should grab it,some way. Now this is only a throw it out there thought-but for example: not all engine or transmission or gears... And so on are metal, they may be brass, chromium,copper... Yada yada. It could be brass from an insert bushing, but not likely. It's not bad to be too cautious though.
- my examples of some metals were just examples of what ya get for oil analysis on diesel engines so don't quote anything I mention, just saying maybe the glitter is not metal, initial ? Was why isn't the magnet picking it up????
