I've had spring loaded parts fly out of guns and of course you never see where they land. I even had a part fly out on the grass, I looked and looked on my hands and knees and even resorted to cutting the grass as low as possible without finding it. My wife, bless her soul, found a magnetic pickup tool at Home Depot that works great. It's got a magnetic head about 1" by 8" on a broom handle. I came home from work and the wife said "Is this what you lost?" That's why I married her, for her brain!
