I swallowed a dental crown with a metal peg attatched

I accidentally swallowed a dental crown three days ago, it had a metal peg attatched that is used to fix the tooth in place. I have checked my stools and there has been no sign of it.
I have no pain or any other symtoms and was wondering how long it will be before it shows up, and will it do any harm due to the metal peg?

The normal bowel transit time is from 12- 72 hours, so, now you have an opportunity to check, if there is any truth in statistics...:--D
