Rattle found!

Over the last yr, I have had a rattle at start up and occasionally while driving. It had a "tinny" sound so I figured it was a rock or something in the heat shields. Well being that it was a rainy weeked I thought I'd talk a look. I dropped the cat and found a shield from an O2 sensor inside! So.. my question is, should I replace the O2 sensor or not worry about it? It's been exposed for about a yr or more like it is.

Geeze,
I'm surprised the o2 sensor has worked for the past year with out the shield. It tends to need that part to do it's job. But, like 99f3 says, don't fix it if it's not giving you any trouble.
