Metal pieces getting caught in Amana washing machine water pump.

Here is where I am. This is a new washing machine to me, came with a house purchase. Amana front loader Model No. NFW7200TW. Troubleshooting started with washer getting stuck on rinse cycle. I did some googling and found water pump was likely the issue so I pulled and cleaned the pump which was full of sediment about the size of gravel and a corroded piece of metal that was stuck in the pump about 1 1/2” x 1/2”. I figured I had fixed the problem and reassembled and ran washer again but the washer got stuck on rinse again. I figured I might have fried the pump by trying to run it too many times (it was pretty hot when I pulled it out the first time) so I ordered a new one. I went to replace the old pump and found another piece of metal almost identical to the first one stuck in the pump again. Is this metal coming from something else broken in my washer or just something left over in the drum from the previous owner? I want to go ahead and install the new pump because some of the blades on the old one look damaged from the metal pieces but I don’t want to throw it in and get more metal hunks caught in my fresh pump. Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
