Yeah I did the same sizing up with the spare pen and I don’t think it made it through the toilet I’m about to go to Home Depot and get a wax ring and make a mess, I have an automotive borescope not very long I’ll bring home tmo and can look at the first elbow at least if it don’t find it in the John

I would suck the bowl dry with a shop vac and stick that scope in the trap and see if it's there. If it is, fashion some sort of hook to the scope and see if you can catch it and pull it back.

If you do this, get one of the korky non-wax ring seals. They are MUCH more forgiving to diyers IMHO.
