Are these metal shavings in my engine oil?

There was some oil left over in the oil filter housing so I soaked it up with a microfibre cloth and squeezed it back into the drain pan. I then saw bronze/gold particles (number 1) and when shook or blown onto they turned into what looked like a fine mist/dust of bronze/gold particles as shown in number 2. Can't tell if these are bubbles because of squeezing the oil or worn out metal particles because I could see something in the oil filter hosuing too. My engine is known for sometimes eating cam bearings. What do you think? Thanks.

Looks like nothing to be concerned about. Your dried filter looks normal as well.
