I wouldn't remove the head. Use a long flexible magnet (like the
telescoping ones on the counter at most auto parts stores) and fish around
for it thoroughly in each cylinder. If you come up with nothing, try
turning the engine over with the starter, with the coil lead detached, and
listen for any odd metallic noises. If it passes both these tests, just let
'er rip. IMHO, the very, very slight chance that it went into a plug hole
justifies no more precautions than that. My two cents.
