People do that that stuff seriously, just like the gold prospectors sites they have all over. Sounds like you had a good time.

Others really took it serious, like a job!!:Chammer:

i went there once and that was enough for me i didnt find a diamond either i found a couple of green looking crystals and that was all but they were definatly not diamonds
-
i couldnt remember what they told me it was so i looked it up and it is called planerite and coeruleolactite which is a form of eastern type turquoise and very common in several eastern states arkansas being one of them. this is not a gem grade crystal it is mineral grade and not much value to it like western turquoise is

just got the end of the story channel 13 but appears someone found a 2.5 carrot diamond up there looks like you should have taken the warden and dropped her off ben this last weekend that puppy would pay for many millwood trips

I went here as a kid and found a nice box turtle that I was gonna keep as a pet and mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night. Dad I love you RIP

I've been there too ... no diamonds ...
They say it's best to go there after a strong rain, which peals away the top layer of dirt, and also to look in the lower areas as they tend to congregate there.
