Questions on Diamond hunting in Arkansas
I have been to the Diamond Mine State Park several times. It is large wooded park on the Little Missouri River. There are 59 wooded camp sites some with utilities. The cost is $17 a night to camp. The Park has a museum, a cafe, a pravilon, and a Water Theme Park. There are hiking trails and of course the Crater of Diamonds. The 6th of June is not too late but July and August can be oppressive with heat and humidity. I would reserve all mining to the morning hours. The pipe itself has very little shade and the lamporite is a blue green clay which heats up quickly. Do other activities in the afternoon. You will be allowed to remove one 5 gallon bucket of material per person from the mine. Only two diamonds are found per day so finding a diamond is not a common occurance. To find dimonds; start by touring the museum and viewing the film on diamond hunting. You will need screens to wash the dirt. If you don't have any screens they can be rented at the mine. However, a security deposit is required. Some folks have been walking off with the screens. Dig a bucket of dirt and wash it in the sluice box at the mine. Look of slick greasy feeling smooth stones. Some will be diamond shaped others not.
They will be mostly brown but various colors and clear stones can be found. The average stone is 1/4 carat but larger diamonds are found. If you are a rockhound there is plenty of multi colored jasper and agate at the mine. If it rains go out after the rain and set on a rise and look for a sparkle in the sun light. If you find a larger stone you could strike it rich. Serveral people this year have found large stones. But it not the norm. I have added links to the Crater of Diamonds and other prospecting opportunities on the Arkansas National Directory. Good luck and I know you will have fun. Things to bring : picks, shovels, 5 gallon buckets, screens, bug spray, sunscreen, hats, lots of water, small sandwich bags for your diamonds. A geologist is on site.

Arkansas Diamond Trip March the 21st
"Bill you are ruthless! I am sitting here reading about a great southern breakfast and I am eating a stinky green salad! ewwww you mean! lol ;-) Breakfast sounds like it would be worth the trip alone.
But a couple of diamonds would put the icing on the cake for ya. OK.. Back to my salad. lol

" Notice I did not say GRITS. I am not that Southern. Arkansas is west of the Mississippi. Nor did I mention boiled peanuts or chitlings.(which are Pig guts) I also left out possum which is a greasy big rat. O I am sorry Paul I forget you are eating. Billie Ann is packing a Cajun lunch but I will refrain from describing the unbelievably Great food she is bringing. There are plenty of picnic tables under bottom land hardwoods. If I find the BIG ONE I will come to Washington and take the WIKI bunch for a steak diner.
