Some of the areas included in the 37-acre, diamond search field at Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park are not even diamond bearing!!! In my opinion, they should be removed from the official, diamond search area. In addition, there are over FIVE ACRES (equal in size to 5 football fields!) of great, diamond-bearing, lamproite ore that are out of bounds to diamond searching.
In this video I also mention one of four trenches that were scooped out and fed into a state-of-the-art, diamond recovery plant from 1920 to 1925. I just made a short video that will show you photos of that old, trench map and explain about the commercial, diamond-recovery work that was done there 100 years ago at the site that is now an Arkansas state park.
