SCOTTISH GOLD HUNTING

It all began during the summer of 2022 when I encountered a man who shared an intriguing tale of discovering 8 grams of gold in a river situated in the northern regions of Scotland, near my father's residence. He proudly displayed images on his phone, showcasing a stunning collection of gold nuggets, along with his wedding band fashioned from the unearthed gold. Instantly captivated, I yearned to delve deeper into this fascinating endeavor! This captivating pursuit, known as gold sniping, entailed essential tools such as a wetsuit, snorkel, a small shovel, a turkey baster, and a journey to the Scottish river with promising gold prospects! Eagerly accompanied by my brother, we suited up, equipped with our tools. Much to my chagrin, I found myself disheartened as I peered into the water, only to realize that my inability to peer clearly through an unsuited snorkel was more disappointing than the absence of any gold discoveries... You could say the real treasure was the amusing experience itself, filled with laughter and camaraderie!
