I got my oil sample back, but what does it mean?

This is my first oil sample so I am not sure what everything means, the mechanic at my dads work said the engine was healthy.

Here we go it was done by Titan Laboratories, their in Colorado.
Oil was Mobil 1 15w-50 with 2,800 miles on it.

Physical Tests
Viscosity-cSt 100C - 16.4
SAE Grade-100C - 50
Fuel Soot - % WT - 0.1 (low I guess)
Water, Fuel Dilution, Antifreeze - none (sigh good head )

Wear Metal, PPM
Chromium - 0
Copper - 10 (a little high maybe?)
Iron - 7
Lead - 9
Tin - 0
Aluminum - 0
Silicon (dirt) - 1

Additives and other metals, PPM
Antimony - 0 (what is that?)
Barium - 0
Cadium - 0
Calcium - 2886 (wow this seems odd? )
Magnesium - 17
Molybdenum - 41
Nickel - 0
Phosphorus - 983
Silver - 0
Sodim - 1
Titanium - 0
Zinc - 986

I will need to get it done again after this next change, this was the first change on synthetic to so some things are probably a little higher then normal. Although I did two changes with Delo 400 15w-40 at 600 and 1,600 before the Mobil 1 went in. I have no other history.
