Default What is it ?

A couple weeks ago we destroyed a high 11 sec. 455 motor.
So we put together an old well used 400 motor .
Same intake manifold.
Started it up, sounded good, ran for 5 minutes and died.
Restarted motor and heard a loud knock.
Pulled motor, pulled pass head and found this piece of metal on top of piston.
What is it and how did it get there ??
