I hopped on my pushbike and followed all the trails i rode that day about 15km (10mile) , eventually finding a nut, it didnt appear to be off my bike and remember thinking about throwing it, but decided to keep it. Roll into home and show dad and he said "thats it". Got to ride the mx track the next day.
I have lost one into the bottom end before and fished it out with a magnet. That was scary! I put rags under the piston now when doing circlip work.

#1. Changing valve guide seals on a Honda Accord by pressurizing the cylinder. Lost one keeper. I swear to this day if fell down into the oil galley. I fished with a magnet. Removed the oil pan. Turned the engine over with a long handle breaker bar. Looked all over the floor and the surrounding area. Never found the keeper. Put a new one in and the car made it to 200,000 miles before I got rid of it.
#2. Replaced the crankshaft in a Honda Trail 70 as a teenager. Put it all together and had a leftover spacer. Referred to the manual, took the engine back apart, couldn't figure out where the heck it was supposed to go. Looked at witness marks and put it where I thought it might go. Bike ran and shifted just fine for years and years.
I do have a little place where I usually put old snap rings "just in case".
OP... great post. Made my lunch hour!
Bought a new one.
On Sunday, my Matrix tool box fell out of van on to the ground, did some damage when I was cleaning and fixing it yesterday, found the 8mm T, it had fallen down the back and was jammed side ways behind all the draws.
Actually, that might be a fun thread on itself....
Been down to no 10mm sockets, etc.
But my best re-find was finding a contact lense that my buddy lost in a bar fight.
It was stuck to the back of his head, and I was riding bitch and saw it.
Nucking futz.

I have used this telescoping magnet with success.
