I blew up a piston on a 250cc two-stroke motor once. It took me forever to clean it out of the crankcase. The dang things are aluminum so a magnet is only good for finding pieces of the rings. It's amazing how many thousands of small parts they break up into. Fortunately, my engine was rebuildable, but the piston alone was a couple hundred bucks. You can buy a whole set for a domestic V8 for less than that.

Good luck with the mess. It sounds like it's beyond repair. Is it?
