I've retrieved objects from that area of the piano that caused springs to dislodge. However the most probable cause (I hate to say it) is probably a previous technician who dropped his rubber mute down there and forgot to hook the springs back up (don't ask me how I know this). It's also easy to dislodge them while making adjusting wire bends on the dampers. Its good to always check the springs with every tuning. It helps prevent a call back.
