Drain Hole Help

Well I was filling the battery this morning with distilled water and when I went to screw the last battery plug back in it slipped right out of my fingers, and guess what? It landed squarely in the drain hole, perfect fit I might add. Any one know a simple way to get it out? I know I can buy a new plug for the battery but the drain hole needs to be open.


Thanks

You could try to remove the battery for better access and then use tweezers or forceps to try and pull it out, or push it through and hopefully it will land on the ground?

Or duct tape a vinyl hose (maybe 1"?) to the suction end of a shop vac and try to suck it out?

A stick/screwdriver etc with some gum or dumb dumb on end, also you can buy a grabber with extending claw end at parts store they work great for tight places.
