Broken pushrod help 97 7.3

[Dustball8504]

I took the valve covers off of a friends truck to find a bent pushrod and a broken one on the same cylinder. I got half of the broken one out and had ahold of the other half with a magnet but it fell off and now I can't get ahold of it. Where all could it have fell to and is there an easy way to fish it out? Thanks!


Pic of carnage!

In the oil pan now.
