Copper washer fell into motor

Was replacing a broken O-ring on #5 injector. Went to reinstall after putting on a new copper washer and o rings, and the copper washer wasn't seated right, slid off and I watched it go right down the passage next to the glow plug. Does this go right into the oil pan? How should I go about getting it out? Or will the screens stop it from getting into anything if I can't get it out. Of course it can't be magnetic with my luck so fishing around with a magnet isn't an option.
