You are correct. At a pro tournament there can be lots of spectators around who could search for a ball, but less likely at club level. The ball just has to be found by anyone within 5 minutes.Is this technically correct though?
You seem to be suggesting that it needs to be found by a member of the playing group in order to play it. So if the original ball is found by someone outwith your playing group then you cant return to play it
I'm pretty sure that's not the case
