A parts delivery driver swapped intakes on his flathead from a single carb to a triple carb setup. They started it up and immediately shut it down after hearing a metallic sound like a marble was bouncing in the cylinder. Low and behold, a piece of casting fell into the head and beat the snot out of the piston but the bore and head were unscathed. The motor was run for mere seconds and it had very much the same damage as your piston. They fished out the piece and replaced the piston.
