Solomon I found the diamond in my 5 gallon when I got home. Thank you so much for your help last week. It was an a blessing to meet you and work with you. Only thing is I can't get it classified in California. I gotta go back. Thank you sir - I need to go get my gold and make my ring and get engaged. -Jeremiah

How do they get water to the area outside of the wash stations? I noticed they had a hose. Does that come with renting a cage.

[@TheArkansasDiamondMiner]

There are two spigots to hook hoses up to. These are separate from the wash pavilions and sluice troughs. Cage rentals do not supply anything other than a storage area.

[@KeithAllenTX]

What are the black cages for?

[@TheArkansasDiamondMiner]

Rental cages to temporarily store mining equipment.

[@thefarmerswifeknits6190]

Do they bring all this equipment into the park. I’m not understanding

[@TheArkansasDiamondMiner]

They do. Once inside the park, there are storage pens that can be rented to leave it there.

[@rubics6988]

What do you think about diamond finding detector is it possible or it's fake

[@TheArkansasDiamondMiner]

There are a few methods for detecting diamonds such as x-ray and UV checking for fluorescence (about 1/4 of diamonds fluoresce). None of these are allowed in the park since they are electronic, and in these circumstances, are not really even feasible.

@@TheArkansasDiamondMinerdo you happen to no a ball park rate? thanks for the reply!

[@TheArkansasDiamondMiner]

@@beandip3553 I think it is $5 per day, not sure on the weekly, and $60 per month. These are popular and not always available. It is best to call the park and ask about availability.
