Sniping

Sniping is the art of searching for gold in cracks and crevices of bedrock, often underwater. Using simple tools, snipers recover gold that has settled in hard-to-reach places.

• Essential sniping tools: crevice tools, snuffer bottles, underwater viewers
• Techniques for identifying productive cracks and cleaning them out
• Safety tips for working in and around water

This method is especially effective in clear, shallow streams and can yield surprisingly rich finds for those with patience and a sharp eye.
