As i recall you doing this on a oil filter moons ago
I inadvertantly exposed a brand new ford oil filter to some grinding dust, it had fallen down between the parts washer and the bench grinder, so when I realised obviously didn't want to use it, so cut it open just to have a looksy, found RUST inside, not a tiny spec either, normally don't use ford oil filters, had a genuine one on my dads mondy rust through on a corner, less than 2 years old, good job he spotted it, all the gaurds etc were in place.
I use MAHLE filters now.
