Question Dropped bolt down timing chain opening :(

One of the bolts for the overhead cam mounts jumped into the timing chain opening during reassembly. We have been fishing around in there with a magnet and bore-scope for too long now. Could it have made it all the way into the oil pan?

Suggestions??

If you have a bore scope, stick it up into the pan drain plug and look for it
