[@rockalot1635]

Got figure away to get there just after a good rain. But you got the right idea. When it gets tiresome or you feel impatient, that's when you take a pie break and focus on something else, before you know it, your brain is refreshed and ready to hunt again?

I went there the first week of July a few years ago. I don't recommend going there the first week of July. It was so brutally hot that I could barely move. Didn't find a diamond but couldn't work hard in that heat. I would like to go back again sometime but would definitely make sure its a cooler time of year when/if I do go back.

[@white_devil73]

Man, my family and I have already bought tickets and booked the hotel for the last week in May. We're dying to find a diamond. Good video.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Work the west and east drain! Good luck! Thanks for watching

[@lizzymoore54]

I’m a rock hound and I’d be washing all those rocks off and bringing them home with me! If I found a diamond...that would be fantastic but I’d be just as happy with all those beautiful rocks. Oh Irvin, I have a question. Have you ever seen diamond in sheet form or river worn with rounded off corners ? Just wondering about some of my “ rocks “ because the ring up diamond on my tester. I pretty sure I’m using my tester properly. Thanks ☺️🤔🧐☺️👏👏👏

[@ScottLRoyal]

Thanks for more great information. Every time I follow you or Solomon around in your videos I get better acquainted with COD and my next visit will have an even better chance. You show us that amethyst spot and I'll give up the info on where I got the material that blessed me with a 2 pt. diamond in less than 6 hours on my first and only day at the crater. Have you ever used an old window screen frame to lay on the ground and inspect that little area, when surface searching?

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

No i haven’t used a window screen. thanks for the tips!

Are diamonds easier to spot while it is still wet ? Looks a little harder to brush around the dirt and grit . Hope ya found something after the video was done. Do you camp out at the park when you go there ? I need to get over there and have a look around . Thanks for the video ! Good Luck !

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

It’s best to have the material dry, the diamond won’t lose its shine, unlike all the other minerals. I camp when i’m on all my adventures. Dome Life since day one!! Thanks for watching !

What place do you camp at when near Diamond State Park? Im planning on buying an RV? TIA

[@rockalot1635]

I'm only about 5 hours away but no way to get there. I keep saying I'll find away, just talk, I guess. I love the hunt but it's only the prettiest rock around here. I love the hunt, once I've found something I put it in pocket and hunt for a bigger one, it's hard to be satisfied when I can't pull myself away. I'm 60, so I get to wear my knee pads. My face is a foot away from the ground and I just zone in. It's like a meditation for me. I don't know what the folks in my town think. It's the people that come to my house that say, ' so that's what you do'. . . actually, I do a lot of stuff with the rocks I find. It depends on the rock, it's shape and design. Now the city has went and paved all rock driveways. But where there's a wiillññ .

[@justplanebob105]

All these names you are using, are they marked with signs or a map? Or are they just word of mouth from the frequent visitors?

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Information that has been pasted down from the best. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. ⛏💎

[@benjilee5279]

A lot of the areas and landmarks are marked with painted wooden signs. But some places like the East and West drain are not marked. There are several maps, including a 3-D model of the park, that list all areas and landmarks in the park. The maps are in the visitor center and in the diamond discovery center. Once you get to the park and get acquainted it’ll come quick.

Why don't you go at night with a black/fluorescent light, 1 out of 3 diamonds will light up in fluorescent????????

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

I wish the park was open and allowed Electronic devices for searching. Only 20% or so of all the diamonds in the world Fluorescent out of my 30 diamonds I have about five or six. Most people never get one from the crater of diamonds in arkansas, they’re so rare. Thanks for watching !

[@m3ssiah100]

@@DiamondMinerIvins 30%.. but it could have a lot to do with WHERE they are mined. But tell me honestly, if you could do it, do you think it would work???

[@joycerobertson3238]

How do you tell the difference between clear quartz and a diamond?

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Arkansas diamonds are resorbed, giving them their own look. They are very mouth, and shine like metal. Thanks for watching

[@jackwayneroberts8190]

💎 ♦️ are every color and quality. Everyone wants a clear eye clean diamond while not recognizing thousands of carats of industrial grade diamonds. Our diamonds in UTAH produce 8-16 pounds of diamond per ton of kimberlite gravel.

That place is a rip off...they sent machines in years ago to dig about 20 ft deep to get any diamonds then after sifting put all the dirt back on top and as nobody will dig deeper than a few feet there is NO chance to hit paydirt! 😝
