AFTER A WEEK AND NO RESULTS 95 PER CENT IT CAME OUT BUT YOU MISSED IT PROBABLY YOU WERE NOT AS STRINGENT AS YOU COULD HAVE BEEN IN LOCATING IT THROUGH THE MUCK. IF YOU ARE VERY CONCERNED AN XRAY IS YOUR ONLY RECOURSE

It's probably already gone and you missed it.  It all depends on your intestine's transit time.  Normal transit time for small intestines can be about 4 hours or less.  Normal transit time for the colon is anywhere from one day to three.
