The BEST time to dig for them is right after a rain!!!! Which we are getting now 'till early Fri......Let's go clean them out. Rain is good when hunting Arkansas diamonds but the blue clay thediamonds are found in is mostly Arkansas Gumbo so take rubber boots you can take off. Scraper too. When I left the crater diamond pipe area one time there was a steady drizzle. I was about 4 or 5 inches taller as I got back to the parking area than when I went in. My 914 looked lower to the ground from the new discovered height. I took a 100# sack of the blue clay home and screened it. Please...Don't try driving your 914 with the gumbo mud still packed on the bottom of your footware. The Gumbo is slicker than grease and sticks better than Betty's 914 doing a autocross. Use an ice scraper. Everyone usually has one. Plastic rain panchos (shorties) are cheaper where you live so take a couple of spare ones. Hey don't forget the Jalapeno Cheeto's either. Fire will be good as you drive back to the base for an evening of diamond professional who now chit chat. I don't recommend anyone thinking of treasure in many of the creek trenches outside the park. I did and got lost for about 3 hours. Saw about 80 deer and a couple of what could have been "Bigfoot" near the banks of the river nearby. If you do venture and get lost, climb high in a tree and start yelling you found a big one and someone will hear you and rescue your diamond find. Being a liar is better than being some foul smelling and BIG hairy animal grub. Have fun and find another " Star of Arkansas". Pictures are required if you want to show your feet to the ones who couldn't go and share the real fun cause nobody is going to believe, especially any short people (5'6" or so) who are almost 6 feet tall exiting from their MUSR Diamond Trek. Remember, the term when night fell. It was likely 1st said there in that area of the South. Leave well before dark and have fun. I sure did as this happened way back when the 914 adventures was still new to me. 914 memories outlast the rust. MikeCool |
