[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Nice work! Good luck everyone on the GAW!!

[@debbiepadgett5506]

When is the best time to come out there? I know it's a long drive but if I could find a buddy to come with me it would sure be worth it. I have been Ruby mining in North Carolina but that's about it it was fun found a small one.

[@mississippispider]

I love exploring. I'm 62 and disabled, but I love finding things . Waiting to find the big one .

[@mississippispider]

You've peeked my interest even higher to go to the diamond mind. I'm retired due to a massive heart attack, so I have to limit myself in being to active,thank you. I think I'll make arrangements and go there.

I don’t think people who haven’t tried this have any idea how much work you’re doing! I get tired watching! Great video as usual.

Congrats! Thanks for all the great informational videos.

[@lizajane55555]

I was so happy to see you got 2 diamonds this trip & back to back! Those agates are lovely, brings back childhood memories of agate hunting with my family.

Back in January 2017, I was in the East Drain looking for jasper for my grandson. A lady came up to me and said, "you don't want to dig here. This is just washout.". I stayed, found a few diamonds (tiny). I moved on to another spot and then found the same woman in my East Drain spot......LOL! I must have found her favorite spot. I was there Very early. Found lots of great stones and about 3 yellow diamonds. I plan on going back again this January. It was cold, but with all the rain....I found a few topside diamonds too. I brought most of my gravel home to search. I wonder if I can have the diamonds registered when I return? I wrote the dates down. When I got there the first day, a man showed me a lovely diamond about 3mm elongated. I love watching you work. Keep up the great work.

[@kelleyogletree3416]

Hi Ivins!! Joshua Bartley Sent me over here... your Videos are awesome!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Congratulations on breaking quite a record; finding 2 diamonds on the same day!! Really super sweet! It don't come easy! But I know there's more out there! Go get em!!!

Hello Ivan, Joshua Bartley suggested i watch your channel and i am so glad he did. I live in the uk and we cannot dig in the ground without giving our treasure to the crown, so, im so happy to watch all your hard work and decades of learning bring you so many natural treasures. I am now subscribed, belled up and ready for ALL your adventures. God bless and stay safe.

I love your shows . Great finds ,I use to go to the creator of Diamonds in Arkansas until I got cancer, but all I can do now is watch you lucky guys that still get to appreciate your life and getting outside. I've been fighting this cancer since 2016 and with a lot of praying I'm still on top on the dirt. Lol. But I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to get back at it. But until then I'll be watching you guys. Your my kind of treasure hunter a very hard working man and that shows good character in someone. I wish you all the luck in the world. And I'll be watching for your next great finds good luck in all you do in life and don't ever stop searching for the adventures in life. And take care and be safe. I'll be commenting from time to time on your finds and I know you need all the viewers you can get and I like your setup. Talk to you later brother. 🙏👋🤠

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Sorry to hear, I lost my rockhound teaching, my uncle from aggressive cancer in 2016 at the age of 60. He never smoked it did drugs. got sick, a full year doctors missed it, dead in a months. Thanks for the support!

I was praying to be there next week for the 2 year passing of my husband.... however no money. We always said we were going

[@TheChariotdriver]

Enjoying the videos.

[@johnbastiani9673]

Hi there!! Joshua sent me over to watch what you do. Here in Australia I don't think we have to many diamonds in the east States but in west Aussie yes. My dad and granddad liked gold panning around Bathurst new south Wales. I think pop was lucky in his day dad not so lucky. I enjoyed watching you work and I will watch you again. Take care bye john

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Australia is full of amazing gemstones, and there are countless untouched square kilometres to prospect!

[@FlourgoldWizards]

Sooooo many buckets !!!! You work as hard as we do !!! Nice!😎✅🍻

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

It’s hard to get those done making videos. Back when the crater was open 12 hour days I could get 25-30 done. It was hard, but i did it many times. Sometimes it’s all about getting the right gravel, ive seen people wash 140 plus and no diamonds.

[@puvagirl03]

I am so happy for you my friend! Great job! You worked hard for it! See you again soon.

[@puvagirl03]

Don't enter me in the GAW I am unable to get out and use the screens. I just wanted to say "Hello" and support you. Give them to someone who can use them. Maybe Crockett's Catchings? If my name would happen to be picked.

[@curtisjones9157]

Ivan, I finally made it last weekend. Promoted you a bunch. Many thought I was a seasoned miner. All because of you and Arkansas Diamond miner. I was ready and knowledgeable. If you haven't heard they plowed monday.

[@heathc686]

Congrats on the beautiful finds! You work hard for them. 💎

First of your videos I have watched. Was just in Arkansas and fell in love with the state and thinking about moving there. Did a little hounding in Hot Springs area but didn't have time to get to the crater. Enjoyed your expertise and experience.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

My question is, what do you do with the diamonds after you weigh/ register them? I think a video on the process of selling the diamond to a broker (or whatever entity it may be) would be good information, goes for precious stones too, all of this is fascinating. Nice finds Sir.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

You will not find anything suitable for selling. If you do not know what to do with a rough diamond, do not invest time or money into finding them.

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

@@canadiangemstones7636 I asked more for the benefit of those not familiar with the gem/ diamond industry-- if they're interested in it there should be more helpful information out there than there is currently, and should be encouraged/ supported, not dissuaded. DMI has also said some great specimens have been found at the crater of diamonds apart from ones he's filmed finding (of which some are still plenty suitable for finishing and sale). I personally know a few brokers and lapidaries who buy and cut/ shape and finish rough diamonds and gemstones of various size and quality-- if they know what they're doing and are good at such, they can make just about anything into something nice that a customer may want (even if it's I2 or SI2 clarity quality).

[@ElektronT02]

@@canadiangemstones7636 many gem quality diamonds have been found and sold from the Crater for thousands of dollars. Just recently a 9+ carat was found. Every year multiple 3+ carat gem quality diamonds are registered.
