Find owner of airtag

Hi

I found an AirTag at the beach. I didn’t know what it was at the time so I brought it home.

I looked up what it was and found that you can

Identify found item in Find My.

Unfortunately I receive the message

Could Not Find Items

An unknown error occurred. Please try again in a few minutes. If the problem persists contact the manufacturer.

My phone is asking to connect to the AirTag to register it so I know it still has battery life but I cannot find out who it belongs to or if they have left a message in lost mode so I can return it to them

See the pic below which is self explatory.

If none of the above is happening then...

enforcement. You may need to provide the AirTag and the

serial number for this AirTag.

Did the tag not link you to a URL when held-against the NFC antenna of your phone?

THAT’s the way the owner relays a “lost” message to any “finders.”

Sounds like you came upon an Airtag which was not paired w/ an AppleID.

Thank you, my phone has continued with the message

“Could not find items”

when using the

“Identify Found Item”

function even though it kept trying to connect to the AirTag.

I took the AirTag out with me driving around today hoping I would get the AirTag detected notification but unfortunately it didn’t come up.

I was hoping to be able to return it to its owner but looking unlikely now.

Thanks for your help

Hi

When I hold the phone near the tag it pops up connect, if I press connect it gives me the option as if I’m registering one for the first time such as backpack, bike, camera etc.

When I use find my and search for a found item I get the message Could Not Find Items
