It's an old racing trick to put a speaker magnet on the oil filter. Pop it
off and reuse it on the next. Cutting open an oil filter is an aviation
mechanics staple. They sell expensive filter cutters, but a "bicycle chain
looking" tubing cutter works fine.

Speaking of magnets in oil pans, what I have done is attach several (5 or
6)
of those very powerful magnets to the oil filter. Then, if you so desire,
you can cut open the filter and see if there is any (or how much) metal
your
engine is making (only ferrous metal of course).
