The Crater of Diamonds State Park is spread over 911 acres of the Arkansas state park in the US. Within this park is a 37.5 acre space that is plowed and is the only site in the world that bears diamonds. It is a site that has constantly had fortune hunters find diamonds since it was first done in 1906. This was the year the world’s perfect diamond was found here. Several attempts were made at turning the plot to a commercial mining field. What prevented this from happening was that the diamonds were only found on the upper layer of soil were erosion was the most.



If you are looking for diamonds in the Crater of Diamonds State Park, then there are three ways in which you can go about this. The first is to search the surface for any diamonds. You can also dry sift the sand for diamonds or wet sift it. Understanding each option and how it works will help you make the most of it.



Find a nice spot at the park that you would like to work at. First do a visual survey of the area to see if you can find any diamonds that have come to the surface because of natural erosion from wind ...
... and rain. Once you are done with that, move all the rocks and stones and look gently under each of them. You may be surprised.



Next, look for a spot that has some nice loose, dry soil. Part of your gear should include a nice sifting screen. Scoop just one or two handfuls of mud onto your screen and move it about quickly in an agitating motion over a fixed spot. Select another spot to place all the gravel that you will find and look through it for a diamond.



Another means of looking for a diamond is with wet sifting. Dig and collect a bucketful of dirt from your search area and take it to the washing pavilions that are already set up. Pour one part of the mud onto your sifting screen till it resembles a small mound. Sift it through and take out by hand all material that is bigger than a quarter inch.



Hold your screen firmly and lower it into the water till it is about an inch submerged in water. Move your screen slowly back and forth until you find that the water washes all the material to the middle of your screen. Look for diamonds and if you don’t find any, flip your screen over with one clean motion and start again.
