Default Dropped Gasket Material Into Oil Pan

Title pretty much sums it up. While cleaning the block for a new valley pan gasket, I managed to drop a piece of fiber gasket (and a bit of etc stuck to it) into the pan. It was a pretty solid piece of gasket about 3/4” long.

It dropped in at the front wall between the #1 exhaust lobe.

I can’t see it, nor have I been able to find it with my bore scope. Tried sucking it out with my shop vac, but no luck there either.

Before I drain the pan to try and float it out, does anyone have any suggestions on how to locate and remove it?
