Default NEED some Help: Radiator cap spring fell

Ive never heard of this happening before.I took the rad. cap off and the spring wasnt connected to the cap.I try to grab the spring and it fell through the side and into the radiator.Opps!

Will this be sucked into the head? or mess with anything?If so will a simple coolant draining from the bottom get it out of there?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It should just be sitting there inside the radiator, its too large to pass through the radiator, so it will just slide within the top tank. Take the radiator out if you need. It should be a fairly simple process to retrieve it. Also the magnet on a stick is a great idea, so to that.
