Cut a hole big enough to reach in and get it?

Magnet, tell your GF to help with her small hands, or take the head out. NEVER EVER try to start the car

Do you know what fell? I assume it is small enough to come out the spark plug hole or it wouldn't have made it past the valve. I would remove all the plugs, and carefully turn the engine over until the piston is up, and blow it out with air or grab it with a magnet.

Explain where and what it is. You shouldn't have to pull the head.
