Findings in bottom of oil pan

While just replacing the oil pan gasket to get rid of a sloberring leak I waved my hand down across the bottom for an inspection. Well through the sludge and perafin I found some small BB size balls. To my knowledge I know that no ball bearings are around the rotator. My other thought might be in the governor. Any ideas? Thanks

I forgot to mention it's a 1550 gas. 1966. Oil pressure is 30psi.

How many did you find? The governor is the only place I can think of

About 6 or 8. The governor works fin though. no jumping or slow response.

I had that once on a tractor i purchased, the only thing i could think of was that someone had the governor go out before i bought it but never cleaned out the pan
