💎💰BIG DIAMONDS ARE FOUND IN THIS GRAVEL LAYER!! - Crater of Diamonds

Big Diamonds are found in layers just like these. Notice all the heavy minerals in my centers. I teamed up with Adam Hardin, he's found this amazing gravel layer four years ago. Out of 70 buckets he found twenty-nine Diamonds, two were over one carat! In 2018 Adam returned with a bag full of onions, he dug a hole in the same location in this video, finding 3-4 Arkansas Diamond weighing over one carat each, one estimated around $10,000.
This time we are hoping to see some one carat diamonds, or even larger!!
Hole you all enjoy the video.
Thank you all for the support!

A little tip the park is flanked on 3 sides with creeks. Those creeks you can go into using a screen to sift material coming off digging tools. There is an old map from the 60s lapidary Journal with crater of diamonds on the cover, shows the layout with the extinct volcano cones in one end of the property. Worth a look especially the creeks which are fair game. Testing diamonds without an electronic tester. Diamonds are doubly refractive a line drawn in a plain white paper if diamond will make the line take the shape of the stone. If not diamond it will magnify the line.

Sheez. I'm an 81 yr old female. Trying to just get to the gravel is beyond me. Have been there 7 times and have tuff and "pretty rocks". Resigned myself that I was never going to find my own, so I went into town and bought a little canary. The lure is still with me, but the work is too much. Keep digging fellas. Hope you find a big one.

Are sure that isn’t a ruby! I find rubies every time I go. My dads a retired jeweler I miss his store. No more freebies. Great video to show people how to look for them. Most people think diamonds are cut already but their looking for a rock. Your bound to find a nice Diamond that would be worth sending off and getting it cut into a pretty stone. A lot of diamonds their that are found are flawless and worth a lot. My dad had a ring that put a uncut Diamond in. We show it to the kids so they know what to look for. Don’t pay attention to stupid people. You did a great job!!! Keep up the good work !!
