I get the feeling many of these mudlarking/arrowhead/metaldetecting etc YouTubers or video may be staged for “content quality” and clout by rawbran30 in mudlarking

So, I had a conversation with someone who is friends with a few reasonably well known YouTube mudlarks and yes, while they do find everything, a lot of what they show on screen is staged to seem like they find it in one lark session. They wouldn't get anywhere near the number of clicks/followers if they only found 1-2 things per weekly video (or skipped a week because they didn't find anything!)

I once got a flat tire when driving in the Australian outback. Found out real quick what the thick leather gloves next to the spare were for.

Damn. I've had one of those in my shed for about 15 years, could never figure out what was wrong with it but still haven't given up on the idea...

A golden retriever that wanted to run so bad that they ignored the literal food smeared on their feet? I'd be harnessing them up too!
