Found A Diamond The Easy Way!| Crater of Diamonds State Park

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Let’s aim for 500 likes 👍 and i’ll make another trip mining the Crater of Diamonds, and dig in the same area where i found a nice half carat white diamond in 2016 out of only 5 buckets!! Thanks for watching everyone !💎⛏

[@Joesworldttv]

Great find. I eventually want to go to the Crater of Diamonds once everything settles down.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Thank you for watching the video. i hope you get to make it there soon.

Shared! Thank You Diamond Miner Ivins #DMI for sharing your finds ‼⛏💎 Love to Win this beautiful diamond 🙏🤙😄

[@A_O_BWV]

I was there two days ago. It was my first time there and I was down by the water near the woods. I had 2 buckets, but wish I had more. I haven't found anything yet but hoping I do.

[@HupfDole87]

I would never find a diamond there o.O I was looking at the bright white stone instead of the diamond next to it. I would simply overlook them.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Everyone misses diamonds. But after awhile you’ll develop a good eye for them. same as gold, arrowheads. takes an eye for it. That takes time. Thanks for watching and the support 💎⛏

[@russellcrawford4809]

I know it's been 2 years but I just found this video. I also was looking at the stone beside the actual diamond. Once he pointed it out , to me , the actual diamond looked like a bubble 😆

[@tennpikr74]

Thanks for posting, i was out there in 1972 or 73 and looked and looked for 4 or 5 hours. back then there was no sluicing that i remember, you just walked around with the sun at your back looking for a glitter of light as they told us . You could also dig down and kind of screen the dirt. The park had not been open long to prospecting at this time. I cut gemstones but i cant cut diamonds because of their hardness. We did go on to the hot springs area and find quartz crystals that summer which i still have today.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

the regulars were hitting it hard then. sounds like me my first time I went. no regulars there, and I didn’t have a single idea how to find diamonds. so i had to go again, and again, and again, again, again, again. lol thanks for watching !⛏💎

[@tennpikr74]

@@DiamondMinerIvins i would like to go again but it wont be anytime soon.

[@Jjkkss1230]

Just spent this Saturday there. I have a bucket of gravel that I washed but never went through. It's from a total of 8 buckets. Took my 6 year old twin boys. Hardly got to take look so I can't wait to go through it because they just had a bunch of rain and I worked the creek bed for ore. So worked a lot of crevices to bed rock.

[@patricianelson8]

I can never seem to get enough of these videos! I love rock hunting, always looking for something shiny when the Sun hits the ground a certain way looking through sunglasses. I have an excuse to go to AR, my sister lives in Little Rock. Road trip!

I have been there several times and no diamond so far but lots of fun trying. probably had one but did not even know it posably. its a good day trip for the family outing. its about 3 hours from me. AND, My wife said looking at the video that we saw you on our last trip. you were walking out of the park with the same wagon and 4 buckets of dirt. Cool.

[@andermac1]

I didn't know you could bring a wagon in. Have you done a video on what's allowed to be brought in there? I'd sure like to know. I got there at 9am , the only time I've been. No gear was left to be rented. Thx, love your videos. 👍

Howdy, just found your channel and these videos on the crater. I've now made close to 20 visits there, once staying for 2 weeks straight so I'm no stranger to the intricacies of diamond hunting, including several extended forays into the surrounding woods but I have never heard of looking for plants to indicate deposits. In fact, I was always under the impression that a lack of vegetation might indicate a concentration of tuff, so I'm curious if you'd be willing to explain a little further? Thanks!

My entry for the 8 point if you haven't given it away yet. Safety meeting then back to the probing beast! Again, congratulations on the 10k subscribers. Oh yeah, meant to tell you, I am just about like you. Gems, minerals, Native American Artifacts, meteorites, metal detector, you name it. The sad thing is when I lived in Eureka Springs I never made it to the crater. Worse than that, I did not even know about the crystals then! Started the gems and minerals heavily after I left!

Thanks,for the video, I stayed in the campground, when I was young,it's a nice place. Had no luck,but,bought a stone,in that parking lot,to help a poor miner,buy food. It was like that size,for $5. It was a deep brown color. That mine,produces some fancy diamond's, like canary.

Yes the local miners are only able to sell these diamonds for $5-$10 per point. It’s a rough living unless you find a nice big diamond!! Thanks for watching!

I actually live in Arkansas, about an hour and a 1/2 away from the crater of diamonds. Have been there a few times, found nothing! Lol you sent me a comment in one and asked my phone# fir a text, or for my Facebook address, because you wanted to speak to me privately about something and I left what I could, but never heard from you. You can find me under Brenda Hoffman on Facebook. I just saw your video today about the giveaway for reaching 10k subscribers. Congrats on that and for so much you have found this year!! I almost always leave a comment on all of your videos, and I have watched them all. If I got the notification. I have been s subscriber for quite some time. I had asked that crystal mines remember? But, you said you would leave a link for the drawing, and thus video is about 4 months old. I watched it. This must be the diamond you're giving away! 1st time into the 2020 year I believe it was? I watched it. I will go back to the re previous video and see if I clicked the wrong link, or misunderstood what you were saying.

[@bobcansee]

Do you ever go through the cons for gold?

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Since this was a volcanic eruption from 120 miles below most of the gold was melted during the heating process. that’s why these diamonds are resorbed, because most of them were burnt up as well it takes over 4000° to melt a diamond under great pressure. how ever i have found a small picker on my center once!! So there is gold st the crater, just don’t plan on seeing it much. thanks for watching !

[@SteampunkGroove_John3.16]
