But worse case it should stay put on the inside of the pan.
The magnet that Z1 choices to use on their magnetic drain plug they sell is actually one of the strongest magnets I have seen and chances are it should not move past the bottom of the oil pan. We are only human and mistakes happen I agree with Trips you should address the issue and try to fish it out some how a clothes hanger should possibly work if not you will have to drop the pan worst case scenario to remove it. Fortunately you didn’t use a inexpensive low quality magnetic drain plug you may have been in trouble if it did actually move out of the oil pan.

It would have if your mother had used it early enough, but here we are.

200k+ Covid deaths yet you somehow you're not one of them. There is truly no justice in this universe.
