Jerry, here's a suggestion. It's probably too late for that one, if anyone has done vacuum cleaning of the space where it was lost, without monitoring the bag before disposal. Here's what I do: I have a cleaner with that tornado action, where the dirt swirls around in a clear plastic tank. Pop a strong magnet into this canister, and it will capture anything ferrous that swirls past it. The magnet I use came from a computer hard drive--it's a rare earth type and really strong for is size. My little lost Erma springs all come back to me now!
