This is something that often happens with cars that are left standing. Surface rust forms on the inside of the drum, and the sound you heard was the rust particles being removed from the drum when you applied the brakes.
The cast iron used for some brake drums (and discs) rusts very quickly, so some cars can make a noise from the brakes after they've been left parked in the rain overnight! As long as the sound goes after the first few applications of the brakes, then it is nothing to worry about.

I mean yeah the linings are low but nowhere near being metal on metal, so now I'm baffled as to why there was a metal on metal sound from the right rear and Only when you applied the brakes!
