My favorite is Detector Ben. I like to see them actually getting the signal and then digging the target. He also gives a lot of good tips and advice.
I like Relics and Rings.

No hyperbole or big ego. Shows new equipment in the field with a simple "here's what I'm seeing right now, in these conditions with these settings - don't think that automatically applies anywhere else" approach that I appreciate. Out there in the same AO I'm familiar with.

I generally search "Metal Detecting", and then filter by upload date, but some of those names mentioned I've not seen.

One of the reasons I enjoy watching a variety of metal detecting youtubers is to see the different styles of hunting based on region. Hunting in the Northeast is quite different from hunting in the Southeast, hunting in the Midwest, hunting in the desert West, etc.
Then you also have detectorists who concentrate on differing results such as parks/ballfields vs. farm field vs. woods vs. beach.
And then, of course, there's Old World vs. New World. I don't watch much of the European youtubers, but sure do envy their ability to find items that are hundreds of years old.

Agree with a bunch of others above, but since I also bottle dig, I like Crick Diggers, Southern Searcher, Cloverdale Diggers, Adventure4Life, Bottle Ned, Adventure Archaeology, Bill Lad Dig Fellas. RIBottleguy, Tom Salvatore too but they don't seem too active anymore. Always liked "Sick Rick" Weiner out East too.
On FB, "Privydiggers".
Generally, anybody that shows digging "in-situ'. I don't like when they only show bottles after they dig them out. I like the "thrill of the hunt" whenever possible.

I figured there would be one of these threads.
As a newb, my favorites are any video showing reading the signal, the digging, the find, and filling the hole back in.
All things important to me at this stage of the game.
I have a couple channels I've subscribed to, sorry I don't recall their names, but the one guy uses nothing but his trowel and makes these tiny holes that fill right back in. In the videos I'm watched I've seen him dig deeper, but never enlarge the hole. He always seems to dig exactly in the right spot and never hit a rock.
Another channel the guy holds the detector in one hand and digs with the other, removing a perfect plug before he bends over.
At my age with my knees he's my hero

Calabash is done, gone, all videos taken down. Can't say I'll miss him. Haven't watched a video of his since he put on the lab coat and thought he was Doctor Detector.
