Ball bearing found in oil filter

[AKV]

Hey guys I did an oil change today on my 1979 XS650 and I found a tiny ball bearing in the oil filter area. Obviously wondering where it may have come from and whether I should be concerned?

Pressure check ball perhaps (#22). Need to go back in there.

If there's a bearing in there from the relief valve also look for a spring and screw.

side or sump, filter "area"?
a measurement?
clutch push rod bearings (two or three depending on year) are "fairly large", 6mm, 1/4"
