Well this post is not about gold mining it is about Mining Diamonds,
obviously. I had a business trip down to the states and I had a few
days between meetings, so I hopped online to see of there was any
recreational mining sites near by. To my surprise I came across a
public Diamond mine in Arkansas. The mine was call the " Crater of
Diamonds National Park. " It was a very nice establishment. They
provided me with everything I needed to begin my quest to find diamonds,
for a fee of course. After I got my equipment I went out the back
doors to the mine to find it was a just a plowed up field. I spent all
day, from when they opened to when I realized that I had gotten a very
bad sunburn(Unfortunately late in the afternoon). So, I got Sunburned
and skunked. I was just really excited to do some diamond mining. It
was a ton of fun and recommend you check it out if your ever in the
Arkansas, if all you have is the internet here is the link to their
website -
