I just don't log dives

If you're into underwater treasures, you might enjoy this small youtube channel. Most of their finds are sunglasses, iPhones, iWatches, and similar items. It's not too flashy or clickbaity like some of the other channels I've seen. Their editing also seems to be consistently improving over time.

Where is this?
 
At the start of the video the guy said the rental house was "across from Volente." I'll bet that was Volente Beach on Lake Travis in Austin, TX. I didn't know visibility on Lake Travis was that good.
 
Umm.. a few of those sunglasses didn't have any silt on them. Might be a couple of those shots were staged?

Lake Travis. Some of that was Stern's Island, not sure abut the other locations.

It depends on how long sunglasses were sitting on the bottom.

Stern's Island has a dive-charter with about half-a-dozen divers which goes there several times per day, picking up sunglasses. If you find sunglasses there, usually, they won't have any silt on them, because they were dropped very recently.

After a few months (or years), the Zebra Mussels will absolutely destroy sunglasses.

Vis is usually much worse, though it depends on the location. Devil's cove, one of my favorite spots has zero-vis, but I can almost never dive there. The reason I like it is because there's no competition from other divers, and I don't mind the no-vis.
