lots of junk at the bottom of the pan, including a chunk of metal that I have no idea what it is.

Should I put the pan and new gasket back on, or do I have a serious problem? THe oil pressure gauge showed plenty of pressure, no funny noises coming from the motor, so I dont think there was any major damage. This all started because I dropped the oil pump shaft into the pan while trying to reposition the distributor
