Hate that! Best of luck in finding it.
The best bet might be to take a dog with good nose back to walk your route though the clearcut, if you can somehow let him know what you are looking for.
I lost the magazine from a Savage bolt rifle on a 150 yard stretch of mountainside one time, and never found it. Had to buy a new one. Ouch. Before the new magazine arrived, I killed a deer using the rifle as a single shot. It works!
