Have a good shop vac? Or access to one. By hand turn the engine so the piston is on top and then connect the vac to a short piece of garden hose and seal it somehow with tape etc to ensure maximum suction is still there to the end of the hose. Now put the hose into the hole or the top of the spark plug hole and let her suck. A good vac should pick up ever is laying in there.
