parts in oil pan!
I brought my Briggs & Stratton 16.5 tractor in for it's inaugural oil change. While draining the oil, I hear a little "plop" and find a small round half piece of metal with a cam on it about the size of a watch battery. I don't think there is any damage as of yet, but I have pulled the bottom half open. any guess as to what this part may be?

That's the oil pump.

BTW, there should be diagrams at Home - Briggs & Stratton

The sprung spring you are referring to was the compression release that was on the camshaft. There were many warranty claims on the compression releases a couple of years ago, actually probably four or five years ago.
