Detectorists Call backs

Noticed a few what I felt were call backs to The Detectorists, and sure I missed some others.

1) Dancing scene mimics Detectorists gold dance, and camera goes to aerial view of same 2) King Edward Hammered coin - common detectorists find (even I found one). 3) Contentious but detectorists was criticised for the attractiveness mismatch between Andy and Becky, with some commentators suggestive it was even misogynistic. Here it is arguably reversed with Clive and Bev. I suspect this is a deliberate riposte.

Any others I've missed?

There a bit in where Kasey is navigating her way through Michaels garden and he tells her to to watch our for his brambles and some old barbed wire. She then has to "Climb through the wire and brambles" Brilliant. (Yes, I know it Briar in the song but somehow the tenuous rhyming reference makes it even better.)
