dumb question

while i was taking my sturt bar off, one of the nuts on the strut tower fell into the engine bay and litterly disappeared. My question is, does any one know the size of these or anything? I know I can probably just take the nut to a hardware store and get the same one but im bored so I figured I'll ask.
