Terminology doesn't matter - 'small find', 'special find', 'individual find' etc. etc. etc. all get used.
The key distinction is this:
Does the find merit individual recording and assignment of a unique number, or does it only merit recording as part of an assemblage deriving from a particular context and referred to by the context number?
In principle this is a decision that should be made on a project-specific basis, because what is individually important on one project may not be on another. I suppose the key thing is, are you likely to refer to the object separately in the report?
