Default Dropped a bolt down dizzy hole!!!

I just can't believe I did this. We had just come back from the movies and I was going to run into the garage and torque the intake bolts one more time since I just replaced the gaskets that afternoon. There are 4 10-32 x3/4 allen bolts that hold a bell crank pedestal in the center of the intake.

This looked like a quick, won't get my good clothes dirty type of a project. So I proceeded to install the first two bolts and I fumbled!!

I dropped the third bolt and it bounced twice, hit the dizzy hole, I heard it bounce 2 more times (internally) then it was gone. I grabbed the magnet but there isn't a lot of room to fish around. It is likely in the oil pan but who the hell knows.

Now what?
