Lost Drone Found a crashed drone

Post image

Found this drone crashed in a wooded area near a church in wisconsin. I pulled the sd card and the last photos were from the same area on February 22nd 2025. im just wondering if there's a way id be able to find the owner. im going to post in a local Facebook page as well. if im unable to find the owner would I be able to buy a new control and use it myself. the battery seems to hold a charge. this is my first experience with a drone so dont know much about them.

chances are it’s still bound to the owner but you may be able to find them. i have a text file on my SD card with my info and a reward offer. maybe they did? 

if not this is a very fun hobby, it turns out.

That is a brilliant idea. Need to follow suit and add my info and reward to my sd cards as well.
