Pibb. not sure who’s those were, all stacked in one area. like those guys teamed up on this gravel. Thanks for watching

I really enjoy watching. When you flip those pans and zoom in on the center I always think those probably crystals are diamonds lol. I would have such a hard time telling which were and weren't. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

Clayton County History Hound These diamonds are resorbed, meaning all the diamonds here aren’t octahedron. These diamonds have a shine you can’t miss, because of their facets, and colors. White, yellow, brown are the common colors. There have been green, blue, pink, orange, rainbow, black, red, purple also found. They glow when the sun isn’t out. Alien 👽 diamonds!

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

Some goes in with my centers in the paydirt i sell on ebay.

@magnus638 4 года назад

Have you tried sluicing the gravel? Due to their mass, it would probably work like with gold, only a little lighter. I might also try to take everything from the general density spot and wash through with a gold pan. Density won't lie, but the colors and outside clearness of diamonds totally do, and may look like ordinary rocks, given away by their shape and hardness as far as I know, having found 0 diamonds.

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

There is no running water for a sluice setup allowed at the park. it’s all old fashion by hand. They finally allowed wheels like 2006 or something. 😅 I would be dead if i didn’t have my wagon. lol. Diamonds hate water. Some say they have seen some diamonds float! The Saruka is the best way! pick em right off the top!

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

Magnus Thanks for watching the video!

@magnus638 4 года назад

@@DiamondMinerIvins They stick to petroleum jelly atleast, whereas other minerals will be washed away by water. Never heard of floating diamonds before now, but gold floats too, so who knows.

@jaratt85 4 года назад

So seeings how this is my first time watching one of your videos, I have to ask.. I guess you guys aren't allowed to use any kind of sluice box or anything to go through the material there? Diamonds will get trapped in a sluice box just like gold will, if you were allowed I'd definitely use a pump and high banker/mini trommel to make it much easier on you.

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

it wouldn’t be a very good idea, these diamonds can be flat, and some have known to float in muddy water. The sakura is you best tool to find any type of gem stone, because the heavy minerals will concentrate in the center, and all you have to do is pick your diamonds!! Thanks for watching!

@FlashInYourPan 4 года назад

Hey, Brother! is the Kimberlite, the Redish rocks and is that why you are going to work that first area? Did that brown one end up being a diamond, Ivins? cool video brother, keep up the great work man.

@DiamondMinerIvins 4 года назад

Flash In Your Pan No Kimberlite at the Crater of Diamonds. The host for the diamonds here is called Lamproite. The red rocks are Jasper which is red because of the iron, so they are just a little heavier vs the other colored Jasper. Yes i like the red Jasper, so i worked that spot. Unfortunately it wasn’t a diamond. 😫

@ArkMedic1 4 года назад

You said when you walk out onto the field that's the East drain. Is that to your left, to your right, or straight ahead as you enter the field? Are you referring to north, south, east and west as directions of the field, or are you referring to where it would be if you have a compass pointing in that direction you are referencing? It would be really nice if you had a map as you came out of the entrance into the field and pointed to where all of these places are that you're referring to, such as the east drain and west drain and North Hill and snake pit, because when you are walking around with a camera all we see is dirt and trees, you turn the camera off, then when you turn it back on, it is confusing which area you are walking to. Where you said you had found eight of your diamonds, I have no idea what part of the park you were in. Just a 3-minute video with the video showing what you're talking about and pointing to it would be absolutely phenomenal, and I would greatly appreciate it, kind sir if you would do something like that. You are absolutely very kind for showing us how you look for diamonds, what you look for, where to look for it, and you share your knowledge and your adventures, and it's greatly appreciated! But. I just need some DMI ground markers LOL. Thank you so very much!

Please, please get some tweezers and point out what you are trying to focus on. It makes all the difference when you see the stones of interest in the substrate before you remove them. The eyes of the viewers then are more trained to recognize what you are trying to show us to look for.

No worries, I am just trying to focus on what you are looking at in the substrate before it is removed. I hunt artifacts, fossils and gold.
