finder's
Belongs to spotter
Finder's is the possessive form of finder, appearing almost exclusively in the phrase finder's fee, which denotes a payment made to someone who locates or introduces a business opportunity, property, or deal.
The term comes from the principle of "finders keepers"—the idea that discovering something valuable entitles one to compensation.
