Some of his TikToks have racked up millions of views as his audience follows his journeys of returning lost treasures.

Clay posted a video of himself finding an iPhone that actually still works and that TikTok alone gained an impressive 11.7 million views.

According to the video's comment section, Clay even found the owner of this lost iPhone and returned it to them. He's rescued a few lost phones that are still working after sitting at the bottom of a lake by reaching out to the emergency contacts.
