I ordered the sewer camera, I just hope there is something that I can grab with the hook. I don't think the magnet will work. We may be able to use the camera and grab it with a bigger hook on a long piece of wire.
Let us know how you get it out. Curious minds would like to know. :) - wa8yxmExplorer IIIThe Magnet idea might work but test it at a RV store first juse use a fridge magnet on the thing.
I suspect the wire in the hose might be ferromagnetic (Will be attracted) but the spinner is most likely brass (pairomagnetic) and will get excited if a magnet passes by but won't be attracted (Excited is a physics/engineering joke,, A magnet passing a non-magnetic hunk of metal "Excites" and electrical current). - austinjennaExplorerGood Luck and dont feel like you need to post any pics for us as you dig around your black tank!

I see you've got an approach to take.
Good luck. - RandACampinExplorer IIJust open the flush valve, reach in there with and grab it with your hand.

Go to amazon and buy one of these cheap endoscope that will plug into your phone or tablet. It also has a little hook on the end for capturing it and you can see where it is on your phone screen.

Great find! For $20 I would definitely give this a try.
Same idea as the sewer vision system, but cheaper than renting one. - 2chiefsRusExplorer

I don't know if this will help the original poster, but I just ordered one! - fairway2002ExplorerWhat if you put couple big bags of ice in tank with some water. Ice might pull it out.
Good luck - buckyExplorer IIWill it float if the tank is full of water so that you can see it better? The only piece of it I see that might be metal is the spray head.
Oh yeah, welcome to the forum.
