A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the Crater of Diamonds State Park once again. It was mid December. From what I understand, their prices have changed since the new year, from $10 for an adult to dig for the day to $13.
In this video I go over a few basics that I employ during my visits at the Crater, show a few types of rocks you can find, and get up close to what the heavier diamond indicator material looks like in the center of your flips.
I hope that this video looks like help to you if you should decide to visit this unique Arkansas State park.
Blessings!!
-Joe

He threw a big 5 carat diamond 💎 out 😆 🤣

@peterchesko9537 Год назад

Thanks for the fun show. You've got a great spirit for rockhounding.

Is it possible that the rocks you toss, could contain diamonds

@DaveGrimm-n6m 24 дня назад

The drainage pipe is just like a sluice with riffles. Battery powered wet vac will collect the heavies in the riffles.

@Crystalscraftsandchaos 7 месяцев назад

Nice Vid! Cracked me up at the water station bc when I did it I’m too short and got soaked and not very strong with them heavy buckets and you made it look so easy! 😂. Thanks for showing stuff under the microscope!

@peterwiley4383 Год назад

Great lesson Joe, very well presented.

@joedadbod8450 Год назад

Thank you, Peter! That’s very humbling. Have a wonderful evening! 😊

Cool place to be in, some day i will visit Crater of Diamonds 🤗i made a DIY mini sluice for gold, ending up with finding a small diamond instead 🤪

@AndrewDoeden-dc2im 11 месяцев назад

On my 6th day Sept 2021 I found a heart shaped Garnet .83 cwt. Dec 16th 2021 I found a .28 brown diamond.

@joedadbod8450 11 месяцев назад

How wonderful!! My largest so far is a 28 point brown as well!! 😊

@Arkansasdiamonddenis 8 месяцев назад

In 07 08 09 i found 486 diamonds in 29 months of digging, my biggest was 4.42 carats, which walmart now owns, good luck..

@bobnugget3345 15 часов назад

Did u dig daily?

@amandaoflynn-kelly324 7 месяцев назад

Looks like those blue dots could possibly be azurite. Not an expert but I thought I’d give you my opinion as a fellow rock hound. 😊

@ramawedel662 6 месяцев назад

Where did you get the rock screens?

@NanaBren Месяц назад

You can rent them at the visitor center

@Chiapet2323 Год назад

Blueschist facies Main article: blueschist facies The blueschist facies is at relatively low temperature but high pressure, such as occurs in rocks in a subduction zone. The facies is named after the schistose character of the rocks and the blue minerals glaucophane and lawsonite. The blueschist facies forms the following mineral assemblages:

@kelc446 8 месяцев назад

great video! I plan on coming here in March with some girlfriends! Do you recommend bringing a hand held diamond tester?

@joedadbod8450 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! Maybe I’ll see you out on the field! I’m planning on visiting in March as well, just not sure exactly when yet. They don’t allow any battery operated tools out there on the search/digging field, including flashlights and diamond testers. They allow phones though (which has a flashlight on it? - I don’t make the rules). Any specimen that you think may be a diamond, you can bring it to the diamond discovery area of the park and have them test it for you. You pass this area of the park going to the search field and leaving it.

@2sweet4you Год назад

Did you rent those tools or bring your own?

@joedadbod8450 Год назад

I brought my own tools, and made my own screen sets. The saruca I use is a 20 mesh Muddy Miner. 😊

@ralphwatson7036 Год назад

Nice job on the video. Lots of good info. What microscope do you use?

@joedadbod8450 Год назад

Thanks Ralph! The microscope is a little 50 dollar one that hooks into your computer with a usb, it was recommended by the Arkansas Diamond Miner, Solomon. I got it off of Amazon here: www.amazon.com/ampliaci%C3%B3n-efectiva-monitor-microscopio-flexible/dp/B00QTNBC4U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=3UJWDCSPIRF88&dchild=1&keywords=carson+usb+microscope&qid=1598389581&sprefix=carson+usb+microscope,aps,192&sr=8-3&linkCode=sl1&tag=thearkansasdi-20&linkId=6cce8516f75c2ae3ded980158ba20bae&language=en_US
