On a flathead engine the valves are nearly parallel with he piston bore. If a valve lets loose it makes a noise but can never contact the piston.

The keeper most likely fell through a oil drain hole during a valve job. It does no harm down there. The in ch of much will do no harm either as the oil pickup floats on top of the oil.
