You use a magnet. That's how you find a needle in a haystack.

Burn it all. Put the ash in a magnetic centrifuge. Spin and wash away ash. One needle left clinging to the wall.

Toss the hay in water. The hay will float while the needle sinks

Yes, this is how hyperbolic metaphors work. You wouldnt do it if you had a choice but can still imagine yourself noping out if you had to

I think the problem isn't the unavailability of the needle for future use, but that the animal which will be fed on the hay will digest the needle.

There are large needles used for sewing burlap sacks and other bags used in farming, and it's not a stretch to believe someone could have lost one of these in a haystack since they're things that exist in the same space.

That's one then, maybe 10

It was a task on a recent season of Amazing Race. One team was fairly haphazard in their approach, causing them to lose. Although, technically I think it was a ribbon. Same concept though

Would it be tasteless to say an addict farmer might have?

Not tasteless. I can imagine a junkie hiding his stash in a haystack

Spend 48 manually renaming the extension of chkdisk 80000 files to try and save as much as possible of them cause we had no tools to classify them back then
