Here a picture of the culprit. Doesn't look like a transmission part to me.

I agree with Marada, gear case bolts are not plated. Is the markings on the head visible? If they are not metric then you can be assured it did not belong in there.
The only thing I can make out on the head of the bolt are the letters "JD". There are numbers on the opposite side but there banged up too much.

Get a telescopic flexible mirror and a flashlight and inspect all over inside the case. Look up at the gears from down under shinning your flashlight at the mirror. Look for damaged teeth and a missing bolt. Rotate the gears and inspect some more. Especially inspect the area of the gears where they poked the bolt out through the case. Try to rotate the transmission in each of the gears to see if they will work before you "button" it up. If there is no damage you got off lucky. Make sure you clean out the bottom of the case for any loose chunks of metal. Then you will just have to repair the hole. Sounds like a good job for JB Weld.
