i suppose it could possibly do some damage ,but you pushed it inside the water section of the engine.Was it rubber or steel or aluminum ? rubber will slowly deterate ,steel will rust into nothing over time, aluminum ( who knows ). I have accidently done that over the years ,most have not been an issue. There was a couple that came back to my shop for wierd over heating problem that finally we removed the water pump and found the old freeze plug blocking the hole at the water pump.
If you can see it and can fish it out great.If not put in new freeze plug add antifreeze and crank it up.Just remember to monitor temp guage for a long period of time,like 6 months to see if the freeze plug moves.Otherwise you get to pull engine take it all apart to find it. I say all this to say this: other mechanics will scream in your face and want $2,500.00 to fix this and it's a major problem. You are the final judge ,if you go with my suggestion is monitor the temp and the worst is you got to take the engine apart anyway.
