Afraid you'll have to host the photo somewhere like photobucket/flickr for us to be able to see it :y

Can't see your pic mate but it sounds like a washer out of the cam cover.
Probably found it's way down there during a cam cover gasket change.

You're better off hosting your picture somewhere other thanFaceBook, not everyone has or wants an account  ;) Photobucket or Photobox are better, and you can link directly to them to show the picture.
Is your washer rubber? The 4 indents suggest to me it could be a rocker/cam cover 'O' ring that's found its way down there. Someone else found the same thing very recently.  :y  :y

Yup it's one of the rubber washers from the cam covers.

It was me who had the same thing very recently.

Did you find a lot of muck in the pick-up, and in the sump?
This was my pick-up, and you can see some fairly big lumps of crud in the drain tray in the background  ::):
