There are no technical means by which a mislaid Apple Pencil can be located. Even if still charged, a motionless Pencil will shut-off its Bluetooth connection to save power.


The only method to locate a lost Pencil is the Mark1 eyeball...

I recently lost my Apple Pencil in my house, and no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find it. However, when I checked the Apple Pencil settings on Settings, I noticed that it didn’t show the battery level for my Apple Pencil. So I went into all the rooms of my house, stopping for a few moments in each one, and waiting for it to show the battery percentage. Finally, when I came into a certain room, after a few seconds of waiting, the battery percentage came on. I quickly checked all around the room and eventually found my Apple Pencil.

My Apple Pencil was only lost thought the night, so I’m not sure if it would work after a while of it being lost. But it is probably your best chance of finding it.
