Thank you so much. Yes, I just came across him working in the diamond field. I was impressed with his set up, and asked if I could do a video interview. He's a nice guy and agreed. I was genuinely interested in and impressed with the equipment he made to find diamonds. I appreciate your encouraging comment. Thanks for watching my video.

Yes, I agree. But I've heard he's made some modifications and upgrades since last year's model. He plans to return to the Crater of Diamonds State Park in a couple of weeks. I hope to record another video of his upgraded equipment.

@@genuinediamondsinar3253 Yes please :)

@@genuinediamondsinar3253 tell him to go on SHARK TANK! LOL it would be a messy demonstration though

@@DustyMcFarland Yes, it would get their floor all messy.

Would be good in the outback for opal and gold

The site has rules and restrictions, you can’t use motors, only hand power.

@@eugenecbell You are so right. This is a quiet state park. Motors would be noisy and smelly and potentially dangerous. The park has rules for a reason, but it would make the work a lot easier.

@@genuinediamondsinar3253, motors may make the work too easy and the park could be sucked dry of diamonds in just a couple of years and then it would not be fun to look for diamonds anymore.

I thought 'potato sorter'.

Use of a d c motor and 12v battery also prohibited?

Yes, you are right. This one is ideal for his application because motors are not allowed in this state park where you get to keep all of the diamonds you find.

@Joe S, how do you fabricate the internal helix? And, is there a formula to get the correct pitch? I mean, you don't want the material moving too quickly, or it won't be cleaned well enough before it gets discarded. Thanks!

@@genuinediamondsinar3253 Yea, but no money...fewer if any adventures. At least with money, you can create as many adventures as you want. So I want to be the guy who sells the shovels.

Id also like to add something. The reality is when you try to go on adventures with little to no money, all you end up with still is little to no money. But...if folks dont mind that reality, then to each his own. Proceed. Just dont expect things to change any time soon.

@@-Uranos- Amen great thinking . You can do so many things when you are backed by funds!

You ought to come. It is a state park open to the public 362 days each year regardless of the weather. "Winter" time is best. Today, it is 71 and sunny here on January 25th.

For sure go when it's cool. We went during summer and my wife hated it. Thank goodness Hot Springs isn't too far and there's a lake there.

Ha!

Are you saying it was too big to fit through the door?

Why didnt it?

I appreciate you watching and leaving a positive, encouraging comment. You really ought to try diamond hunting in Arkansas. It is a fun, American adventure open to the public 362 days each year. Hundreds of diamonds are found there by visitors every year.

Thank you so very much for your encouraging comment. I'm glad you were as impressed with what he's done as I am.

I'm glad you like what he's made. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Great story! Thank you for sharing. Kids have done well finding big diamonds at the state park. I even wrote a magazine article (now an ebook) about numerous stories of children finding diamonds at The Crater.

I see he has a wheelbarrow to take the diamonds to his truck.

where is this place..

Now I'm understanding why "family vacations" were the thing from the 50s to the 90s. Lol

Plus, if a little kid finds one, you can swap it for a Candy cane!

It's a state park. They wouldn't want their diamond field covered with concrete or a hotel.

You are so right! I was just walking around the search field, saw his set-up, and asked if I could make a video. I'm glad I got it recorded.

Yes! I was impressed with his set up, and was pleased he granted me a video interview for my "Genuine Diamonds In AR" KZfaq channel. Everything has to be human powered at the state park. No motors of any kind are allowed. It's quieter and safer for everyone that way. Thank you for watching my video and for commenting.

Yes, but bring your own water.

They said the moon was made of cheese because the Chinese have mined it for so many centuries the moon is a giant sponge now !!!!

Mini g the moon would reek havoc on the earth, they shuld never take any weight from the moon like that eventually shifting how it makes tides and wind and may fall into the earth ir alingshot away

@@FluidMotionEnergy i opened a restaraunt on the moon but it didn't do very well. the customers complained it had no atmosphere.

@@FluidMotionEnergy well I'm sorry to inform you (and I overall agree with you on this) that there are serious talks and preparations being made by different companies/people/governments regarding their plans and intent to begin industrial-scale mining and drilling on the moon. Some preliminary tests shown positive results regarding their ideas of the exact techniques and equipment they are planning to use, as well as actual samples of moon material that suggest there are large deposits of various desirable/useful elements that they hope to be able to mine successfully. They've also been trying to figure out the best (best in their eyes, I'm sure, which means the least expensive) method to safely house and sustain the necessary workers while automating as many systems as they possibly can, to reduce that number of real workers needed. But I think the biggest hurdle/snag they've encountered is deciding what exact person or nation can lay legitimate claim to the mining rights/deeds of a particular plot of lunar land, since it is ON THE MOON after all, as well as deciding who has the authority/right to decide who the person is, that will making those determinations/decisions regarding those "lunar mining rights". It just sounds like a shit show of various governments and big businesses all whining about each other while also trying to bully each other, in essentially a nightmare beurocratic dick-measuring contest, in which everybody ends up pissed off and unhappy at the end lol

Yes, I am with you on that. I was so impressed I just had to ask if I could record him so everyone could see. I'm glad he agreed. Thank you for watching and for commenting.

Thank you for watching this video and for commenting. I thought he had designed a pretty impressive set up, too. Here is a link to some other people who use a bicycle to provide the motive power for their diamond recovery set up at Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7KUdtmVlp2uYIU.html

Nice! Always looking for an easier way to get the job done.

And who says you can’t reinvent the wheel.

Thank you for watching. I love the adventure of seeking and finding diamonds at The Crater. I have found 176 genuine diamonds at this state park so far. My wife says it isn't a hobby with me--it's an obsession. I'm not addicted to diamond finding. I can quit whenever I want to. I just don't want to.

And it works! And it is portable. I appreciate your comment.

Yes, like "do not put a baby in this trommel." Thanks for watching and commenting.

Kudos!

Yep, and you've got to go looking to find it.

There is gold to be found in almost any river in the mountains and at the base of the mountains where the rivers start to slow down and pool at the lower elevations. It's also in the ground if you know what type of rocks and quartz to recognize because the quartz forms with gold veins.

@@13_13k There is gold in every state, but there is hardly any natural gold in Arkansas. There's none worth pursuing. I've tried. You can find gold rings where people kayak and canoe. I've done that. I've done much better with diamonds. I've found 177 at the state park so far. Two of them weighed more than two carats each.

@@genuinediamondsinar3253 ---- that's so cool. It's crazy how gold and diamonds are both not rare, yet with diamonds, their value comes from market manipulation. De Beers controls the majority of the world's diamonds, except for the Russian mines, so they limit the diamond availability for the higher grades, and the thing about gold is that, even though there is modern gold mining going on, the majority of the gold that is in people's possession, like the gold that kings and queens and countries own, is the same gold, physically the same gold that ancient rulers and royalty owned, that Vikings pillaged, that was used to pay for wars and for marriages, that jewelry and coins were made of that Pirates stole. It just gets melted down and turned into whatever is the best way to keep it stored. It doesn't rot, it doesn't change with age, it doesn't corrode, or rust or go through any chemical changes like oxidation. It's pretty much the perfect natural product.

All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills under somebody else's name

That would be one way to do it. I've actually found more of a concentration of genuine diamonds at jewelry stores. They just frown on it when I say, "Look what I just found" and try to leave the store with them.

Diamond hunting at this state park is a great, American adventure. I love it! I have found 177 diamonds at this public park so far where their policy has always been finder's keepers.

We have a larger diamond recovery set up running just a short distance outside this state park. Please take a look at it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLOpdqupl6eYfZs.html

I love what he has invented here. Yes, it could be improved on, but you can't drag too much equipment with you or that would be all that you would get done. This is compact, portable, yet efficient. I think it works well. Thank you for watching my videos and for your comments.

@@genuinediamondsinar3253 Yessir. I enjoy the videos. Especially since i've been out there quite a few times.

Yes, this system is very nice. i'd be happy to use it if i were him.

me too lol

Not really no, this looks like a hobby

I have found 177 diamonds from this state park so far, but I rarely find one while I am there. We dig and wash as much material as we can while we are there. We take the best washed gravel home with us, and find the diamonds at that time.

@@genuinediamondsinar3253 I see.. however one out of the pocket would have been nice. Looks like fun though.

Arkansas is heaven for minerals

I’ve been brainstorming a mechanical saruca. I spend the majority of my day working the saruca. If I can come up with something it will be my next upgrade. Wish me luck!

@@davidmcbrayer6458 thats awesome hehe, good luck indeed. so, allow me to mention my thoughts on the device that could be built. so, it would have a platform, set at just the right height for the material to be in the water, but not too deep. could be adjustable too. the platform would have a ring like bearing and "stop-points" where you could use to turn it the 90º one your line of material is made. then, with a connection point on one side woudl be a rod arm or piston arm on a type of gear increase, or reduction, depending on what works to properly make the heavies move to the center. i figured the way i do it, its maybe 4-5 shakes of the sides per second or so. though i dont know how much force is required to move the material properly, but that could be experimented on with prototyping. then, the platform itself could have a mechanism to allow the shaking to flatten the material. maybe just a couple of posts set in the ring bearing, that wont come out while the screen is being "rocked" but will easily come out once you are ready for the drain and flip. so, with those ideas in mind, ive been looking for some one to help design and build one i could use in the normal wash basins at the park, or could be modified to suit your mobile stations too. =)

@@EddieSchirmer The stop points would easily be made by an implementation of the Geneva Drive. Look it up here on youtube. It's a mechanical marvel.

Time at the park is limited to 8AM to 4PM. We try to wash as much as we can and concentrate the heavies during that time. We take our centers home, let them dry, then look through them. That is when we find the diamonds---not while the meter is running on our time at the park. We can find diamonds inside on a rainy day. That always makes the day brighter when you find them.

It works to separate genuine diamonds from the ordinary, volcanic rocks.
