Good thread theme, OP.
I learned about Youtube here on TNET... So i'm definitely a newcomer to the whole thing.
I tune in to Beau Ouimette's channel because the finds are interesting... I expect that I'm alone on this, but there is SOMETHING about him/his mannerisms or -something- that i can't quite put my finger on... I don't know, but something just feels 'off'.
'Nuggetnoggin' sometimes had a nice mix of finds... Most don't interest me besides his occasional colonial relics, and i certainly can't relate to his seemingly obsessive fascination with coke bottles... but his enthusiasm seems genuine and i think that's great. Like someone mentioned above, he has recently developed a tendency to mix a non-detecting related theme into his videos and that is not what i tune in for, so i have moved on. With that being said - it is his channel, he doesn't need my approval, and he can do with it as he wishes - so more power to him!
'Dr. Tones' videos are cool, I particularly like the Idaho/Nevada stuff he does - but i watch and enjoy them all. Dude also seems to put forth a great deal of effort in editing/video quality and that is a definite plus. I enjoy the humor as long as it doesn't detract from the reason i am watching - which is detecting.
Among the best videos in my opinion are some of the ones offered on Garrett's channel (This has -zero- to do with the fact it is Garrett). Steve Moore is a great author and a knowledgeable detectorist- and it probably helps that we share an obsession with Texas History. He seems to be really cut & dry, and the videos seem almost like a documentary. I like the format.
If I had to pick a 'favorite' youtube channel for detecting videos - I'd say hands down it goes to "DigginDeepSouthLA". The guy seems to be a run-of-the-mill good ol' boy who loves digging Louisiana Civil War relics... He seems down to earth and scores some good digs... None of the videos seem 'polished' but you also don't have to sit and watch him dig straight trash.
