That is an amazing picture. I was actually wondering why you uploaded a picture upside down for a while. Sorry, I'm slow.
In other news, I GOT IT!!! Taking off the cams gave me a much clearer view and I could see the most likely trajectory the washer had taken on its way down. I took off the oil pan and voila, it was just sitting there. Didn't have to pour oil down to flush it or anything. I am an incredibly lucky person.
Thanks everyone for posting and giving me ideas. If someone happens across this posting from searching "dropped copper washer down crankcase," I wish you the best of luck. Cheers!

Congratulations and well done!
I've read elsewhere that putting a small bright yellow handled screwdriver (rather then rag) down the hole, blocks access to nuts and washers - and being bright and easily seen - reminds you to remove it prior to buttoning everything up.
