If this video reaches 500 likes 👍 I will go back to the Crater diamonds State Park and dig in the spinal vein, where i found a flawless 6 point diamond in 14 buckets. 💎⛏ Thank you all for the support !
I cannot thank you all enough I can’t believe we reach 500 likes on this video when I get back to the Crater Of Diamonds I will dig in the spinel vein, where i found a flawless six point.
Number 2 and 3 have a blue looking stone in the lower left corner that looks promising. And yes I see the red garnet. You are very thorough and organized and you will continue to be successful. Way to go.
I’ve been to the crater twice and found amethyst, quartz, and barite. I was there with my sister and daughter. It rained but I love looking for gems. I ‘seeded’ the ground near my daughter with some cubic zirconia and she got so excited until she realized the ‘diamonds’ were already cut. Sooo funny. Keep searching. I’m a new fan. Looking forward to more.
It's amazing to me to think that the peaceful spot you're working at was once the site of one of the most violent types of volcanic eruptions! Lava ejecting from the pipe at speeds, they think, broke the sound barrier! These eruptions also are extremely short lived, usually less than a week in duration with little or no warning they are coming. Gotta love geology!
Yes! It took 3 events to allow these diamonds to exist the way they are. Heat Pressure Speed. with out those 3 they couldn’t be here. It’s some of mother earth finest creations!
My girlfriend and I went their in 2018 for 4 days no rain and ground was hard as cement couldn't even dig more then 2 inches.... but how do you know if it's a diamond when everything in the center looks like a diamond? Where did you get them screens I would love to buy them? By the way we found no diamonds can't wait to go back but it's 18 hour drive... good luck out there.....
I prospect for gold... You look for diamonds... I saw a lady today out metal detecting... Some people were agate hunting... I love how such a variety of hobbies/activities can be done, when all of us are just digging holes and washing rocks..lol.. Stay healthy and good luck out there!.
I'm rotflmao,had to rewind, thought it was one of my cats !! Guess that shovel is literally working the shit outta you. Hilarious ! Keep digging brother when you go to your wash tub, wash your drawers too. Lmfao🤣🤣🤣💯👍👊✌️
Good morning Respected Sir. I am watching your all Videos. You making every video Very Knowledgeable and helpful for identifying Gemstones and Minerals Diamonds Very well. Thank you so much for Videos🙏🙏💎💍👌💎💍👍💎💍👌💎💎
What a neat spot, it's relaxing listening to the little waterfalls and doesn't look to hot and dusty. Great effort my friend, you got there super early and well set up. Love those flips, I saw lots of agates of coarse, fantastic material coming out of the snake pit. Thank you for taking us along.
It can get hot, and dust! That time of year is during the summer. worse time to mine for diamonds. It’s our off season, but i show up for a few trips. I can handle the heat. Thanks for watching !
I just subscribed . I've been a rock hound all my life and so was my daddy. I haven't been active for a while but have watched lots of different videos over the years. I finally can do more than walk local areas. Thanks for your video's I have enjoyed them.
It would be an awesome video if you took out a bit of various sizes of all the different materials, like when you are at home going through things more slowly and carefully, then did a video detailing exactly what each material is and looks like when not around all the other stuff.
Part of that land was my great grandfather's, John Franklin Sanders. He's buried at the Roy Cemetery. My mother was born in Roy. My Great Uncles Jim and Joe Sanders lived in Murfreesboro.
Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice professional setup. To speed up the drying process, have you ever taken a sheet of stainless steel about 2' x 3' to reflect more sunshine onto your centers? Or does that thought process highlight that I'm 1500 miles away and in need of a Diamond Diggers Anonymous meeting? Great video. Living Vicariously is better than not at all...
So is there any market for the other stuff in your concentrate besides diamonds? In other words could you make something from the effort even without a diamond? I know that garnet and barite are sometimes worth something, but is this stuff too small to have value? Thanks for the effort to take us along.
Thank you for making this video. It was an A+ effort. As a geologist I really appreciate the close up photos. I now have a better understanding of what to expect if I ever went to CD state park.
@@DiamondMinerIvins When I look at Carter of Diamonds of Google Earth it's noticed that the SW corner of the park has "greener" soil. Have you noticed anything different in that area? Have you tried to systematically map the mine's surface by accessory mineral concentrations? Maybe half a bucket per 10,000 SF.
@@DiamondMinerIvins when you were collecting gravel in the run off bed I noticed a vesicular rock. You know the saying about "one man's trash"...Can you collect hand samples there or just diamonds?
I’d really be sure about that yellow quartz. So many people don’t check what they think are quarts and it ends up being diamond. Rough diamonds are tricky. And yes I saw diamonds.
Good morning sweets ! I love your channel . Thank you so much for all the information you provide ! Your awesome ! I love watching your finds . keep it coming 💗
Could you not put some small holes...1/32" in the bottom and sides of the buckets and let the excess water drain out so those buckets would not weigh quite so much ?
6.75 carat, eight sided. It was number 7 on the list for many years. Cannon was the park manager at the time. About a week or to after the Amarillo Starlight was found. I have been at the Diamond mine many times before it was bought by the State.
Okay, the only stone, even with my glasses on, that met all of the qualifications for being a diamond, having a smooth surface, with nothing sticking to it, the light glistening off of it, was a black color. Was that the diamond? Or do I just need to stay at home?
Great content, I have not yet had the opportunity to go, but your video helps me figure out what I need. I was thinking of hauling my buckets of dirt back to my camp, but now I see how hard it is to transport. I realize I should not do that but take back the good stuff instead. I am thinking pizza boxes lined in plastic would be perfect to flip the final batch into and haul back. Do they have water hoses everywhere so you don’t have to pull your dirt to the wash station?
Diamond Miner Ivins I wished they were open. I hope you had a great time at Crystal Vista. I was lucky enough to hit a beautiful vein while you were gone off with Frank. Lol. I got way more than one bucket of joy out if it, kidding aside it was a pleasure meeting you. Hope to run into you again someday. We are headed out west for some gold mining and trading.
I've only heard about this place before. Thanks for sharing with us ☺️ Did you bring all that supplies? 😯 Or was it rented? It looks like theres a lock on that cage. Sorry for the ignorant questions🤣 This is literally the second video I've ever watched about rock hounding, the first one being your Ruby mountain in beautiful Co
Oh welcome to the fam! thanks for watching the Ruby Mt. Yes I take all that equipment for my wash station. The lock is to keep locals like Mikes Williams out! Thanks for watching !
I just joined your patreon. Super cool that these diamonds can be found in the us. I know a couple ct diamond was found in ohio which is more or less an anomoly. found by a fellow gold prospector. I used to put small diamonds in my paydirt super cool how heavy the diamond is
Welcome to the team, and thanks for the amazing support! I’ll have your Patron thank you goodie baggy shipped once i get a good address to ship. i sent you a message on Patreon. Thanks again for watching the video, and the support
my husband and i were walking the dog on the ohio river in beaver, pa and my husband found a opal, he saw something sparkly in the sand gravel on this small beach, it was very large black oval with multi color sparkles
No!! I went back, and I see it! I see it! Maybe I do have a shot! I'm just not physically capable of picking up and hauling all of those buckets, so I must only do a walkthrough and look for something on top of the ground. I just turned 60 years old, and was deserted after a 21-year marriage and left all alone to start my life all over alone. I have just always wanted to go find one. Congrats!
Arkansas Diamonds have a metallic shine unlike the quartz. both have facets, but the diamonds are rounded, smooth, and have a oily feel, unlike the jagged edges of quartz, and the rough feel. Thanks for watching and the support ⛏💎
It was hard to tell because it was wet not dry but I got a good eye for spotting gems on camera I hope you search them heavies a whole lot closer because I saw at least 10 or 13 possibles in them gravels good job pulling all that up I enjoyed the video👍
All the material is bagged up snd sold on my eBay store, and goes to patrons, plus youtube GAW’s. I’ve left the final step up to them!! It’s loaded with heavy minerals like the garnets, and spinel, barite, and more DMI Un-Searched Diamond Ore Big Quartz: ebay.us/5TGjy0 DMI Un-Searched Diamond Ore Smaller Quartz ebay.us/YacdaR DMI Un-Searched Diamond Ore Only, No Quartz: ebay.us/c5bilz
Beautiful flip piles! Im looking closely at your bulleyes!!! Do you bring a diamond tester into the field with you? Cuz I sure see otctahedral shapes on some of those clear stones. Plus raw diamonds can sometimes be in black or other colors.
hey by New York. I found a diamond of almost 2000 carats. rough diamond. in the middle of the road like an ordinary stone. It was so dirty that when washing that diamond shine it looks beautiful.
no friend. It is not quartz or any other kind. of stone. it is a real diamond. I have my tools to see if it is a quartz or a diamond. and indeed. is a tremendous. rough diamond. has diamond conductivity. its hardness is equal to that of a diamond. I have small diamonds and managed to scratch the rough diamond. which it's. with something else I did not do any harm whatsoever. I put an ultraviolet laser to see the quality of this diamond. and it has almost no bloom. which indicates that it is indeed a white and transparent diamond. I dedicate myself. to collect Rare gems like Rubies. Tanzanite. But when I came across this diamond in the rough I don't know what they are with, not how much it could be worth. it has a weight of approximately 2000 carats to sell it. maybe they are. but i need first. advisory. on this diamond what is the step to follow and seen. diamonds already in facets. worth tens of millions. But I've never seen diamonds in the rough sold. I think I only know that the Sierra Leone diamond exists in Africa. and that is worth more than 300 million dollars.
really friend I'm not kidding that's why I'm looking. among the most expert. What I can do. since I believe this diamond. it would be the first huge diamond found here. And from what I see of rough diamond out there there must be a large diamond mine. but to know where it is. why some truck with dirt and stones. you will have thrown it on the road. and how they do not realize that. those stones. they are diamonds. or other situations. It may be that it came stuck in a truck tire. or maybe they dug around. and like never before. diamonds are known to exist. Well, it looked like a simple rock. usually. I walk. searching. stones. Rare all the time. And if I found quartz. granite. among other.
It all depends on the 4 C’s when you’re talking about a diamond that size. The most perfect Domon ever found in the world was found in Arkansas at the Crater Of Diamonds state park and it’s cut down to a 1 carat. And to this day they’re still not a diamond as beautiful with a round cut brilliant grade 0\0\0
You can make a homemade tripod from round Wood beams and ROPE to use with that water tub your using to take all the pressure off you so you don't have to hold heavyweight anymore while sifting the mud from the rocks
Flawless diamonds go for $159-$200 and up a point. The rest average $65-$85 per point. People who live near the diamond mine aren’t able to get that much money because they live by the source. Thank you for watching
I look every time for that dream diamond. i was in a hole about 6/7 ft down in some gravel tho, when i had my dream diamond. it was at least 60-80 carat. Needed sunglasses to look at it. lol Thanks for watching !
Brrrrrrraaaaaaap! Get your money brother . That looks like a great day . Lol 😂 just decided to not cut that out . I love it raw and uncut ! I hope to one day have enough time to get out and dig , pan, or metal detect
is the Crater of Diamonds a Diamond Pipe? Is that the only place in Arkansas that they have found diamonds? I have done some research and if you find an area that doesn't have any vegetation growing in it usually a good indication for a diamond pipe.
one other Ideal, place a small sluice box at the bottom of where you want to work, Raining and a good flow of water helps, go up stream as you go rake out all rocks and let the material you want wash down this should help with the muck, also would put small dam above to help wash if needed,,works good on small creeks in the hills when you cant shovel what you want
