Don't look at it that way....look at it as forging ahead. That usually pays off...what kind of example would you set for your children if you just gave up?

I heard the best time to go after those diamonds is just after it rains and the sun comes out. Just sit there and watch for the sparkles.
I am in in GPAA. Been to many of their claimes. Been to Stanton and Georgia outings. Lots of fun. Frank

I know people who have several 'small diamonds', they used to go very often, I have a yellow one I traded for.

Can't hunt at night. They close down at a certain hour.Tuberale said:Haven't been to Crater of Diamonds State Park. Probably won't go, either.
Most states west of the Mississippi have already had native diamonds found at. And if you're worried about the heat, the best time to look for them is at night with a black light.

Kentucky Kache...ya should've looked up Charlie Newman...I bet ya would've found a diamond with his insights!

It's true about after a rain, but it's best if they plow right before the rain.
Best,
