I had one in my old car, and it always had a little bit of gray sand, too. Ususally it was up to the little lip on the bolt.

My .02 is that there wouldn't be a magnet on the drain plug if there wasn't little shavings of metal in the oil that need to be caught (at least occasionally). My plug usually has a little metal on it too.
