Dropped a tiny screw in the dust?
Find it by dropping another (and of course watching where it bounces).
The brain takes a snapshot of what you've looking for, and enables you to identify the missing one.
Its called cognitive recognition - honest.
And hey - the worst that can happen is that you loose all your screws.
Find your loose screw

Not much good if you drop a BX bonnet....but then other methods of detection might be simpler.
I have a large collection of BX screws.

Occasionally constrained by geography. When not driving, can rely on ferry, two wheels and musclepower when a couple of miles as the crow flies would become a round-road-trip ten times the distance.

Last Saturday I found myself pulling plenty of BX screws with a magnetic jobby out of the subframe "wells" in the boot of my BX (they don't have the covers after Jon and I had to drop the subframe slightly to get a welding job done ).
I have plenty of screws loose, but most in the boot of my BX at the moment......
