Rummage piles - can someone explain

[POMPOKO]

Hi,
I'm so confused with the rummage piles. I have found 1 ever and only because a player called it out in chat.

1. Is there a location guide on where to find them?
2. Do they disappear if someone loots them or do they still until each player finds them for themself?

In Kilima Valley they appear as a pile of sticks and leaves in grassy areas around Mirror Pond Ruins, Leafhopper Hills, and the southwest docks.

In Bahari Bay they appear as a pile of shipwreck debris and seaweed around Beachcomber Cove and Coral Shores.

If you don't want to find them on your own, or wait for a call out, this site has them listed every day - https://palia.th.gl/en/rummage-pile

They do not disappear if someone else finds them, they only disappear for you after you find them each day. They are instanced to you, so you cannot miss out on them.

They're a little underwhelming, mostly I get 10 softwood or an item a villager lost that they'll give me 500 bucks to return. But I have also gotten recipes for some cute little items to place around my home plot.

In Kilima I basically just walk from phoenix falls towards the boathouse until I find it. And in Bahari I just walk along the coast usually from the north.
