Yes, this is an example of the "First Law of Dropped Objects", which states:
"A dropped object will roll to the second most inaccessible location
possible."
The "Second Law of Dropped Objects" says: "When you find a dropped object
and reach for it, you will knock it into the most inaccessible location
possible."
As far as brass being magnetic in Canada: extreme cold can do some strange
and marvelous things to material properties.

Robert,
Remember these little hardware pieces can bounce & travel for long distances
when hitting the garage floor. Keep looking.
Also, is there something special in Canada that allows brass to become
magnetic?
