A tip I saw on TV for finding small items:
Stretch a piece of panty hose over the end of your vacuum cleaner hose.
Vacuum the floor.
Any small parts you come across will be stuck to the panty hose.

That's not a problem. When I drop small detail parts I tend to spend the next five minutes wailing and cursing and waving my fists in the air! It doesn't actually help, but it makes me feel a lot better! ;-)
But don't you run the risk of having people step on you, or worse, the parts?

I belive the timetravel may have longer timespan involved. I have known things to travel in time from when I was building the model and first appear again when I have finished the model with a scratchbuilt part (Or sometimes I cheet and use a part for an identical kit ;^) )

Or the fold in your trouser legs. You know, at the bottom, near your shoes.
You'll find things there eventually, but most of the time it's about half a year after you stopped searching!

Yep, works too.
Take off your shoes 'n' socks, turn off the lights and walk around. Especially if its a sharp part you'll definatly find it.
OUCH!
