Default Something big in Spirit's magnets

The human built robot "Spirit" is roaming around in Mars.
It has two magnets that collect dust.
There is something fairly big that has appeared in those
magnets. See:

This is quite interesting since the other magnet has no such
"things". I do not know what they are of course, but as a human
I got curious...

P.S.
Compare that photograph with
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/galle...0P1938L0M1.JPG
just 18 sols earlier, where there was nothing.

I've tried to flip between the two images but can't see any differences,
apart from the lighting on the two shots.

Do they have a page which explains what they've seen?
