[Cold Pull] What is this dark ring in my cold pull?

I have printed maybe 100 hrs worth of PLA. Been having some nozzle problems, so I did one of my first cold pulls. What is the dark ring near the center of the photo?

Pulled at 85c, Prusa PLA.

It's either ash (burnt filament remains) or bits of metal.

I've given up on Prusa PLA. Every jam I've had is with it and it's always something in the filament that won't melt.
