You are the only person that can't see the detectorists' survey, CBA/EH's survey and David Connolly's (archeo) survey show how many recordable finds are found per active detectorist and that this, applied to how many artefacts PAS are actually shown proves there's a massive number going "missing".
There's nothing fantastical or exaggerated about that and it's not me that has come up with ANY of the figures.
But if the figures don't suit you, fine.
