Found Apple Watch and want to return to Owner

Hey I was snorkeling in Lake Tahoe last week and found somebody’s Apple Watch 5th generation. It was 15 feet down and prob there a couple days and it still works. I would like to find the owner but since it is asking for a passcode I couldn’t get very far with that. I then called Apple and they said they couldn’t help. What do you think I should do with it? If I can’t find the owner then can I somehow wipe it clean and use it?

Answer this question I have this problem too

All apple iwatches need apple email (apple id) to connect and sync each other iCloud Info, if you reset it, it will ask you for the old email from the old user and basically you can’t use the watch until you enter the right email and password, also if you reset it and connect it to your phone you can see if the owner left a note about returning it.

If nothing helps you, sell it online for parts. Somebody may need the screen.
