Glad to know you got it figured out. How about a pic of all the parts you found in the cowling?
Like you said, those nuts didn't come off suddenly. Not sure how long ago your last annual was, but I'd be a little suspicious that the mags were checked properly.
I once had a mechanic forget to tighten the plugs after an annual. He had them in finger-tight. During the flight home, one of the plugs blew out of the cylinder. It was a Tomahawk, so only three cylinders left, and running rough as a cobb. I declared an emergency and limped to the nearest airport in a controlled decent as I could not maintain altitude.
Suffice to say, I never used that IA again.
