Humans can't digest metal. So if the metal pieces swallowed were small enough they would pass through the intestines and be eliminated. If they were too large, or had sharp points or edges they could easily block, cut or pierce the intestines risking major hemorrhaging, infection or other problems.

No, humans cannot eat metal. Metal is not digestible by the human body and can be harmful if ingested. It can cause serious health issues such as internal injuries, poisoning, or blockages in the digestive system.
