My experience with Cell Tower searches has been that they are almost always very difficult. Typically, you will be given at most a metes and bounds description that is the proposed purchase for the site. Sometimes you don't even get that. Instead you may be given a partial situs such as the corner of Bates and 5th. Ocassionally you may be given the last known owner of the property. So it is difficult to even begin the search.
Most of the time these will be searches on commercial or agricultural properties where easements and right-of-ways are critical. These towers reach down into the ground almost as far as they reach into the sky.
To make matter even worse, at a million dollars per tower your exposure to a huge claim against your E&O is immense.
It is a difficult and stressful but not impossible search.
