You still won't know how much metal is loose because the filter will catch some of it, standard practice with oil filters on CAT engines is to cut them open, that is a messy awkward job with the automotive filters but can be done.
I have seen magnetic bands for filters and also known people stick a strong magnet on the side of the filter or the outside of the oil pan. Perhas you could drill the outside head of a normal plug and bond a magnet in the hold, the steel will carry the field, might work if you use one of those fancy strong magnets.
