Not trying to be a dick but are you sure they weren't in the oil change pan before you dropped the oil?  They look like they're bicycle size.

Part of a non-return valve of some kind?

so...I was changing the oil on my 1500 that I replaced the bevel gear bearing on  (first oil change after initial clean out and repair...about 250 miles on this oil) and I pulled the pre-filter screen to get everything out.  The screen was clean and I could not find any metal shavings from the bad bearing when I emptied the oil....however, I did find these two small ball bearings (3-4 mm in diameter).  Any idea where they would have come from internally?  they are far too small to have come from the bad bevel gear bearing and none seemed to be missing from it when I pulled it....any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

ps...the engine seems to run just fine without any excessive knocking or noise...
