Plug stuck down sink!

I’ve managed to get my plug stuck right down the sinkhole.
Any suggestions on getting this out?
Image provided to show the extent of the stuckness.
Much appreciated.

Is there a gap around the plug? If so, put something either side and gently lift if back out.
What material is the plug made of? Do you have a magnet to stick to it and lift it out?Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0 -
Is there an easily accessible waste trap directly under the plug hole?
If so, you may be able to remove this (making sure that you have a bucket directly underneath and then push up on the stuck plug from below.0 -
It looks like it might be knackered anyway.
Either take the waste pipe apart from underneath and replace the whole thing or for a temporary fix, drill a hole in the plug and insert a screw to give something to pull on.0 -
You could try:
1. The rubber sucker from a child's toy or suction fix hook. Won't work if its firmly stuck.
2. Pipe freezer spray. Put water down, then something like a bent wire rod, then freeze. Bit expensive unless you already have, or can "borrow" the spray.0
