Finding my lost glow plug tip and balls.

So in the trunk of my car I found a glowplug with a missing tip. I am starting to wonder if this is the clacking sound that I am hearing and possibly related to unburnt fuel smoke on cold startup. Recently I also pulled #4 and #5 injectors to find the atomizing balls missing/

From the diagrams it looks like the prechambers have bottom with some small holes for fuel dispersion? Or does it just empty straight into the piston? Any suggestions on how to find and retrieve these without pulling the head?
