Today was in the 70s - sun was shinning - it is looking good for a trip to stock up on diamonds. If you are free just let me know. We plan to meet at the Crater of Diamonds at 9:00 AM at the restaurant . I will be there earlier to eat country ham, eggs, hot biscuits, cream gravy and streaming coffee. Formal wear in not required - this is not a tie affair. Bring a 5 gallon bucket, a shovel, a small hand truck is nice, plenty of water, a hat, gloves, and a bag for your diamonds. We will also collect agate, jasper, peridot, amethyst and other goodies, The miners will also visit a pipe not in the State Park. A side trip is planned to a near by rock shop. Screens can be rented at the mine but you have to hold them on a credit card until they are returned. Screens are required. Should we become millionaires I will treat the entire WIKI to a soda of your choosing. Will posts pics for the virtual field trip.

So much fun and so addictive is a day at the diamond mine in Murfreesburo, AR Our family of 10 spent the better part of a day there and if I didn't live in California I think that I would be there all the time. While we didn't stirke it RICH in Diamonds we did get lots of other treasures in the form of pictures of grandkids and adult kids having a great time look for the BIG ONE. SO if your in California or a little closer take time to go to Arkansas and look for your retirement diamond.

I made a fast trip to Hot Springs Arkansas this last weekend. My niece was having open heart surgery. Every thing went well and she is recovering fine. Billie and I could not resist a new road cut near Silver, Arkansas on HWY 70 west of Hot Springs. The highway department is building a new bridge at Lake Ouachita. It was a great find, We picked up a great deal of Rhomboid shaped calcite crystals with some nice Quartz crystals embedded in the calcite. We were just a few mile from Mt Ida which is the quartz crystal capital of the US. If you have never been there and you are traveling through the state it is a must stop. There are a number of fee mines in the area and I know a few spots not on the fee circuit. Massive gem quality crystals have come from this area. If there are some mid west folks on the WIKI maybe we could explore for treasures? Tom you are coming this way soon?

My family and I are going on our first dig on the 6th of June. We planned to camp but can find no information as to how far the camp site is from the dig, what is best for first timers to bring, what to expect...you know, all the questions us newbies ask but cannot seem to fine answers to. If anyone has been on this dig and has any diamonds of wisdom they would like to share it would be much appreciated!!
