Going to the Arkansas Diamond Mines - anywhere to Metal detect?

[The Madcaps]

My mom and I are going to Arkansas to dig for diamonds, but thought we would check out any sites to metal detect.

Coming from Houston up US59/69 to Murfreesboro.

Any suggestions appreciated!

just look for some public parks in the area. Good luck at the diamond pit!

Just an FYI - it is illegal to detect State Parks in Arkansas, other than the "beach" part of the swimming area in a few (not all) State Parks. Also, any finds other than modern coinage (such as rings, which is exactly what you would be looking for in a swimming area) must be turned in to the park. If no one claims it in 30 days, then its yours.
