Lay a flashlight on the floor.
In the horizontal beam of the flashlight, every mote of dust will cast a long shadow. Something as large as a tiny screw becomes easily visible.
I shake my phone flashlight around when looking for things, so it's easier to spot and recognize objects.
Anytime I've tried this I've ended up with the rim of the flashlight being larger than the item I'm looking for so I just end up going "wow this is a dirty floor" and turning it off to look with my eyes
If your floor is so dirty that you can't use the flashlight technique, it's time to pick up a broom...
Funnily enough it's always happened in someone else's space where it's not my place to tell them to clean up
