It looks like it's been cut on the smaller side. Is it magnetic?

A good way to be sure is to pull the dipstick tube out of the car. It just pulls out and has one supporting bolt if I remember correctly. Now that someone said that it does look like part of the oil stick, I really cant think of anything else it can be.
