I work on airplanes and have spent hours looking for a lost washer or nut. You can't leave anything floating around that could jam a flight control.
I have used borescopes to look around in areas I can't see, and I have a cheap inspection camera from Canadian Tire that I use at home. It helps a lot.
If you know the general area it fell in, put some sticky plug valve grease on the end of an extension or a flexible grabby tool (the name excapes me, looks like a antenna) and prod around. Sometimes you'll get it to stick or at least move it.
