iPhone 3G Silent Ringer Switch Broke off!?!

magnetic?

do any of you guys know if the little silent switch is magnetic? i dropped my phone outside and the little piece popped off and i am having a tough time trying to find it. Im living in italy (its not that great) and the closest apple store is 4 or 5 hours away. i figured i might just try waving a magnet around the area but i dont want to spend 30-60 minutes waving a magnet around just to come to find out that the piece wont even pick up.

Unfortunately no, its not magnetic.

Mine broke off last week, since its warranty is no longer in effect. I will be trying to put a little bit of super glue to get it back in place.
