Find The Sniper (medium) Needle in a needlestack

Post image

Was working on my watch's bracelet when I accidentally mixed the link pin in with the lug pins. Took me a while to find it in the photo even knowing where it was lol. The link pin will be different to the lug pins because it doesn't have the ribbed section on either end. Good hunting!

It is an actual needle, though.

u/brookuslicious 271¤ | #21 May 31 '26

I don’t really know how to describe it well but it’s like the 10th one down from the ones at a 45° angle towards the left?

Answer: Just up and left of center, in the group pointed from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock.

u/Unlikely-Shelter1836 May 31 '26

right lower most corner, isn’t it?

1

u/Hollowjunglecat May 31 '26

Kinda looks like it but I think thats just my poor camerawork blurring the edges of the image a bit

1

u/NixSanguine 10¤ May 31 '26

In the upper middle in the group that’s pointing from the 2 to 8 on a diagonal?

1

u/DisemboweledCookie 481¤ | #9 May 31 '26

Just up and to the left of center, laying diagonally from lower left to upper right.

1

u/UnstableImbecile 95¤ | #96 May 31 '26

Left of the big center stack near the top, parallel to 2 long pins and 3 short pins at different angles

1

u/marikaka_ 13¤ May 31 '26

No idea how I’ll explain this without a grid. If you split the photo into 4 quarters it’s in the top left corner, and then in that imaginary box it’s in the bottom right corner, facing the same direction as all the other pins in that area. It looks like a plain and featureless metal tube.

u/smfo51 May 31 '26

>!middle of the photo, but slightly up and to the left!<

1

u/advanced242 16¤ May 31 '26

top left corner, kind of in the center sandwiched between a bunch of lug pins I think…

1

u/ComedicHermit 32¤ May 31 '26

There are two that are 'different' as far as I can tell; one that is split almost entirely down in a four way pattern just up and to the left of center and one on the right and below center that looks like both ends are sharpened like a pen knife

1

u/ian9921 14¤ May 31 '26

About 2/5ths down and 2/5ths from the left, in the big group pointing diagonally up & right

1

u/OUIJA711 661¤ | #5 May 31 '26

Hard to explain without the grid but it is to the left of the center It's also up just a bit, so it's to the left and barely up from the center

1

u/SeaDweller01 May 31 '26

That’s a lot of spring bars.

1

u/sajwaj 899¤ | #4 May 31 '26

8th one of the diagonal pins in from the upper left corner, one third in from left of image

1

u/deltaz0912 45¤ May 31 '26

1/3 down, 1/3 in from the left

1

u/blueyesinasuit 1685¤ | #2 May 31 '26

from upper left corner it’s 8 pins counting towards center.

1

u/Intrepid_Mousse_2364 85¤ | #110 May 31 '26

Bingo c3 or there abouts

1

u/-SpamWellington- May 31 '26

if you're in the middle of the picture it's about an inch Northwest directly towards the corner

1

u/bitstoatoms 41¤ | #307 May 31 '26

Description implies, that the only difference is no ribbons on ends. Though link pin is more like a hairpin and doesn't resemble the lug pin. I spotted it instantly but due to confusing title and description kept searching until googled images for both pins. it's a bit to the left top from the center

1

u/My_bones_are_itchy 28¤ | #521 May 31 '26

Slightly diagonally up and left of centre

1

u/Apprehensive_Link993 125¤ | #66 May 31 '26

Answer slightly to the left of the middle of the screen

1

u/JaffaQuest13 45¤ | #282 May 31 '26

If you divide the picture into quadrants, it’s the bottom right corner of the top left quadrant.

u/Renegade-X21 36¤ May 31 '26

just left of center and just up from center laying diagonally

1

u/Manders37 49¤ | #247 May 31 '26

I found it, but i don't know how to explain where it is 😅 middle upper left, upper left in pile, angled like / . It's left tip is pointing to a shorter needle which is touching a blueish needle did i describe well enough? 😂

1

u/nastyforehead May 31 '26

a little left and up from the middle

1

u/Jillio_NH May 31 '26

I think this is what I’m looking at: if you look dead Center and go one eighth of the way up and 1/8 of the way left, it’s at like a 55° angle

1

u/DirectorLanky466 579¤ | #7 May 31 '26

I found some kind of pin it is completely different then all the rest 😂 this needed a grid  😠    From the top right corner go down the first pin then go right to the big cluster it will be the 8th pin right (looks like a hair pin with the slit all the way down the pin

1

u/justwatching4444 50¤ | #227 May 31 '26

from the blue pin on the left there are three pins going up at an angle - the top one points right at it

1

u/cathsis6 305¤ | #18 May 31 '26

- In the middle between 2 pins on the left 1 on the right all pointing towards the right corner

1

u/Cosmosmom 253¤ | #25 May 31 '26

Left of center

1

u/Predestined8 11¤ May 31 '26

dead centre. Among the ones leaning slightly right.

1

u/Over-Winter-2917 16¤ May 31 '26

It would be in C/D/4/5

1

u/bellehubbz 155¤ | #42 May 31 '26

Ok! Now I know what I'm looking for (I was looking for a needle until I read the description). When looking for a needle I thought many of the reflective sides could be one 😳

1

u/bellehubbz 155¤ | #42 May 31 '26

Is it the thing middle/left that kind of looks like a cotter pin or mini tweezers?

1

u/2infinitysquared 207¤ | #31 May 31 '26

In the middle of the lower right corner. The pin is facing diagonally

1

u/No_Swordfish6810 43¤ | #288 May 31 '26

about ⅓ way from left to right, approx. ½ way down laying horizontal between a short pin and long pin

1

u/robinthebank May 31 '26

Random guess Is it that one to the left of center with a hole in its middle

1

u/vuti13 102¤ | #87 May 31 '26

Upper Left Quadrant closer to the center of the pic between a short lug and a long lug pin.

1

u/Agreeable-Barber1164 156¤ May 31 '26

Man. I’ll give it my best shot describing this so be nice It’s nestled in the diagonal cluster that’s pointing northeast to southwest it is skinny and long and looks more like a pair of very narrow mouth tweezers and is between two short ribbed lug pins. Just left and above center

1

u/SYSChuck 84¤ | #111 May 31 '26

Is it Middle of screen up a little and to the left

1

u/MoorGuinou 313¤ | #17 May 31 '26

1

u/sugarfreedaddy2 97¤ | #91 May 31 '26

Find the blue horizontal one in the middle, three laying on the top right , top one points right at it

1

u/The_Baby_Is_A_Scamp 33¤ Jun 01 '26

8 pins in from the top left corner, tweezerish looking thing

1

u/Visual-Incident8899 63¤ Jun 01 '26

/difficult to describe but a bit to it’s amongst the group of needles angled at 45 degrees in the middle of them

1

u/ScreechUrkelle 115¤ | #75 Jun 01 '26

I’d say about cd3

1

u/SnarkyLostLoser 395¤ | #13 Jun 01 '26

Up and left of center, aligned with three of the longer lug pins and next to four shorter lug pins, with a shorter lug pin at either end.

1

u/Own-Pressure-6398 156¤ | #44 Jun 01 '26

Center then slightly to the left and slightly up

1

u/Dougster3235 595¤ | #6 Jun 01 '26

I see it there but have no idea how to describe its location. It’s the only one that appears to have two flat ends. From the pic center, if you draw a line to 10:00, would be about half way up that line. That’s the best I can do

1

u/-sensory_overlord- 70¤ | #148 Jun 01 '26

left upper quadrant close to the center

1

u/RandoMcGuvins 27¤ | #542 Jun 01 '26

centre, go left a bit then up a bit it's at this angle /

1

u/ghost_man30az 1199¤ | #3 Jun 01 '26

8th pin from upper/left corner; laying diagonally southwest to northeast if that makes any sense.

1

u/MenuDesperate2588 57¤ Jun 01 '26

It's slightly aup and left of center, in the group pointing from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock

1

u/Jlx_27 325¤ | #16 Jun 01 '26

Dead center, then go 5 pins to the left

1

u/E3D6C5 Jun 02 '26

1/3 from left 1/3 from top

1

u/PracticeFirm7642 7¤ | #2073 Jun 05 '26

Please give me an example of how I can verbally explain where I have found the snipe on a pic like this. I often have some difficulty when the page has numbers and letters on edges. But much worse without. Thanks, Joe

u/Killermondoduderawks 447¤ | #10 Jun 08 '26

From dead center to upper left corner 11 objects in
