Default Help!!! Solder in spark plug!

I have recently installed new head gaskets, heads, intake, etc on my 74 camaro. 350. Was checking for TDC by sticking solder in spark plug hole. Slipped and went a little too far. The solder cut off and a piece is still in the spark plug hole inside the cylinder. Is there a way to get it out of there without taking the heads off again?

A wire coat hanger and some duct tape. Cut off a straight piece of the coat hanger, use a four inch piece of duct tape, roll the tape tightly on one end of the coat hanger over hanging the end of the coat hanger by an inch or so. As you roll the tape on, about half way start rolling in the other direction so you have the sticky side out. Now go fish....
