I found a nut and something like a lug bolt in my transmission pan. What is it from?

It looks like there is a hole that the bolt would fit into.

Sounds like one of the valve body bolts, there will be others that look the same holding the valve body in place, just carefully try the bolt in the hole if it screws in by hand do it up but do not force it, let me know how it goes.
