Hey guys, within the video descriptions I have included links to the tools and equipment that I use, along with many other items you see in the videos. Check them out!
@@ireneurmeneta1403 currently, the park is not renting out equipment for searching. There are several small businesses in the area that rent or sell everything you would need.
I'll likely never get to that park. As a kid I was in Arkansas as part of a cross country trip. What a fun sounding place. Good luck to all of you searching for your diamond.
Could you imagine if we could get to those seams today? Long back, they didn't have near the restrictions as today. I Spoke to one of the older diggers a few weeks ago, he told about how they could just fence off a hole for days while they chase the seams.
I expect that they will be changing soon. Once it looks like the rules seem set, they change again! Thanks for subscribing, I hope you enjoy the videos!
Thank you for this. You did the park and its future visitors a favor. Look for me one day... I'll be the one with a fancy homemade contraption! Find a huge one!
also for your own safety, watch out for others who act like experts and examinate your rocks. never let anyone touch your rocks unless they came in with and are leaving with you. i myself witnessed a person examine another person's rock and immediately declared it was glass and casually tossed it into the nearest wash station. now that I think of it , probably into their own hidden screen.
Its sad that some regulars get to dig illegal, and some can't. the park staff knows it. they need to monitor everyone, or nobody can bring a shovel into a diamond mine. its gotten bad there. all because of Jack.
If material is removed from the hole, weather 2 buckets or 20 buckets. There won’t be enough material to put back, making it level like the man said. Its impossible. A person would have to dig another hole to fill the hole to the top. Sounds like the park needs to do their job more regularly and plow the field. Simple solution!
When you shovel dirt back into the hole, it will not be as compacted as it came out. It will compensate some for the material that is removed, but will settle over time. As for the plowing, I don't think they can plow when the soil is moist.
You can go outside the plowed area. You cannot dig for diamonds outside the plowed area. This is to keep some parts of the park natural and enjoyable. The park is over 900 acres in all, only 37 are plowed, diamond bearing lamproite. If searching outside intrusion, you would most likely only find sedimentary rock, sandstone, and soil. There are nature trails, camping, a wildlife observation blind, and other enjoyable things at this park. We know that this isnt manufactured due to test drilling over the past 100 years. The intrusion has eroded about 230 feet, and goes several hundred feet deeper in a cone shape.
I have tried. It was very windy the entire day! I even had a wind buffer on the mic. It was cold as well, but the sun came out later in the day and it warmed just a tad.
The park created their rules to keep the search for diamonds fair for everyone, and a non commercial environment. They outlined that nothing battery powered can be used, so that has to cover everything battery powered specific to searching, regardless of what that is. The rule is left broad so that its easier to enforce verses “this yes and that no”. They can simply say “nothing battery powered”. Hope that helps, it’s just my interpretation😬.
@@TheArkansasDiamondMiner ok. I didnt know it had to be sifted last time i was there n sep. I took 2 buckets of dirt home. Glad u shared this info so i can know for when we go this coming up weekend. We will b there 2 days. So i think i will take ur advice and dig one day sift the 2nd.
It honestly wouldnt help much. You would have to check every little pebble, which would be very time consuming. They check everything for free, and provide a certification with each find. Diamonds are easy to ID for the most part, especially once you have seen a couple. Thanks for watching!!
some guys just dug a hole last week, prepped it the day before, dug it illegal. sad some get to dig and some that spend money there get Harassed every time they show up
@@TheArkansasDiamondMinerit definitely is. But, if they took an excavator or a bulldozer out there and removed the top ten feet of dirt to get down to the next layer of gravel and diamond, it could be as hot as it wants.
Why would anyone want to go look for diamonds and if you find a good time and you got a pay taxes on it do I get to write off all my trips that it took me to find that one diamond
You only pay taxes (capital gains) if you sell it. Some people enjoy doing things that are challenging as well. I do it as a hobby and never even think of selling what I find. Furthermore, it is good exercise and sure beats sitting on the couch. Thanks for watching!
