Default Fallen bolt

Lost bolt help! So here's the stupid scenario. I was changing my injen intake back to stock. Was just finishing up putting the last clamp on and the bolt slipped out of my fingers and fell into the engine bay and I didn't see where it dropped... I then stupidly tried putting a small magnet (size of a penny if that) and that fell off too.

Any ideas on what to do? Ill go to the hardware store and get a magnetic pickup tool and try to find it. Can I just hope that it falls out?

It's probably sitting on the undercarriage plastic covers somewhere. If you can jack your car up, take them off and see if it falls out.

^^^ Pretty much that. The engine undercover is so big that it likely caught the bolt.

Thanks for the helpful responses. I ended up finding it using a telescopic pickup so didn't have to take off the undercover but that was the first area I looked and there it was
