Flywheel pin mystery

Had a lot of difficulties installing the clutch pressure plate onto the flywheel due to the tight space and interference by the three pins on the flywheel. Following Turbocon86's excellent advice, I popped out one of the pins from the hole in the casting beneath the starter. With one less pin, the pressure plate went on the flywheel smoothly and effortlessly.
Then I did something stupid.
Since the seat of the pin is bigger than the pin hole in the pressure plate, I tried to re-insert the pin from behind, through the hole in the casting. The pin dropped in the process with some clinking noise. Judging by the width of the space between the flywheel and the casting, the pin must have dropped down that space and resides now at the bottom of the "cup". But it disappeared! Can't find it anywhere! I have searched, probed and magnet-probed everywhere. It vanished! It is not in the cup, nor is it on the protective shield or on the ground.
Where could it be?
What would be the consequences if I abandon the search?
