    I wonder how many are actual Gemologists. Disappointing for seasoned minors I am sure. Save some for people who invest in their education to do so. Scavenger hunts are why so many mines are not open to the public. Thanks for the report. Good to know but still having a problem with travel. Love from a Southern California Gemologist.

    Why is this like VICE-worthy reporting/editing.

  3. Loruo Rampha on July 30, 2023 at 11:13 pm

  4. scott griffin on July 30, 2023 at 11:14 pm

    I like it people that love rock hounding and are willing to work for it!

  5. Suze on July 30, 2023 at 11:15 pm

    A diamond in the rough is one who aids others.

  6. Michael Miller on July 30, 2023 at 11:17 pm

    Sad that rock hound guy spent so much time finding something that is losing value and hard to sell in small amounts.

  7. Pegtop on July 30, 2023 at 11:21 pm

    Thank you. I lived about 30 miles from it for five years and went there once. I didn’t know half the stuff you shared in this great video. Thank you for your hard work. Great job.

    corruption is more valueable than a diamond 🤣

  10. DE Graham on July 30, 2023 at 11:24 pm

  11. Brian schwisow on July 30, 2023 at 11:24 pm

  12. Rebecca Blaylock on July 30, 2023 at 11:25 pm

    Lord I wish I had someone who could take me to find at least one 😔

  13. Kort Hosen on July 30, 2023 at 11:27 pm

    Great to see How Insane and Ridiculous mining is for the envoirment.
    I´d prefer if that place would rather inform ppl about How Bad mining is, instead of encouraging it.

  14. Charisse on July 30, 2023 at 11:27 pm

    Check out Wegner’s in mt ida arkansas!

  23. chris ambriz on July 30, 2023 at 11:35 pm

  24. Mattie Mathis on July 30, 2023 at 11:38 pm

    Definitely going to check this out!! I don’t need a diamond, but just being able to say “I was diamond mining” would be so cool!!!😂😂😂

  25. Waylon Martin on July 30, 2023 at 11:43 pm

    I like the other public diamond mines much more. I love videos like this, keeps the other mines from getting too crowded.

  26. Christopher Leubner on July 30, 2023 at 11:46 pm

    Best to visit it after a good rain. Bring a steel garden claw type tool as the soil is a kinberlite clay that is tricky to dig in. You can pan them like gold or screen sift them. They have a greasy look to them. A shade shelter is nice as well. Place has a a RV park, pool picknic area and some other stuff when you get bored digging for diamonds. ❤

    Why’s your logo “Off the *Cuf* “..?

  34. Navy Sisomphou on July 30, 2023 at 11:52 pm

    Really happy to see these people enjoy the act as much or even more than the find

  35. New Bleppmore on July 30, 2023 at 11:52 pm

    there are plenty of public fossicking areas around the world where diamonds are found but i suppose theyre not primarily diamond fossicking locations.

  36. mark rainford on July 30, 2023 at 11:52 pm

    While crater of diamonds is everything you say it is, it’s also possible to rockhound diamond bearing kimberlite in Northern Colorado along the Wyoming border in the Roosevelt NF. You’ll have more of a chance of being attacked by a mountain lion than finding a diamond. The geology is interesting though. I’m planning to look for placers and other associated minerals in the drainage of the intrusions while camping soon! There won’t be any but maybe I’ll find a little gold.

  48. LoveOptimistic on July 31, 2023 at 12:08 am

    Love the community aspect…people NEED that…we’re so lost & others so zombiefied.

  49. Chiken EU on July 31, 2023 at 12:09 am

  50. scott griffin on July 31, 2023 at 12:09 am
