Unknown object in oil pan
2013 F250 6.7 PS. Replacing the leaking lower oil pan gasket. After dropping the pan there is a metal object that I do not know what it belongs to. Pictures below. I don’t see where it could’ve fallen out of. Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow, that object is like finding a scorpion in your boot or a dead skunk in your well. My first thought was it was the magnet end of an articulating/telescoping reach tool that we use to pick up stuff we've dropped. But I think it is too complex in design to be one of those. Can you provide a size reference?
And was the engine running OK before you began the gasket job?

That looks like an insert that goes into a lifter. Do you know if the top end has ever been removed?
May find a better photo to match yours, but here's what I got from the 30 seconds that I spent looking.
