There was about a 2 inch long piece broken out between the 1st and 2nd ring. It was captive between the rings, but riding up and down loose from the rest of the piston. I bought a new piston today and the bore still looks perfect surprisingly so I'm just going to de-glaze it and go.

If the thing has blown up is one thing but if it is running Ok is something else. I have found bits and pieces of pistons in pans quite a few times. For some reason I have found the "tails" of pistons several times in otherwise Ok engine pans. I just put the pan back on and let em run. I never saw a floating piece of piston like you describe though. Don't deglaze too much deglazing is WEAR too.
