oh man, you're so lucky!

I was changing the valve stem seals on my 1jz supra, and one of the valve stem retainers fell down into an oil galley!!! I heard it drop down into the oil pan! Just like you, I was able to drop a telescoping magnet from the head all the way down into the oil pan and get it out.
