"if you dropped a coin (or other small object) and you can't find it anymore, drop another coin and see where it goes."
Wore hard contacts back when those were a thing. Trained myself to look straight down when I drop something. No pause, don't look for the thing, look straight down immediately, catch it on the bounce.
