Looking good
Esau can never get enough. Obediah 18:1
When you do those close-ups and talk about all the different things you’re finding some arrows to point to them for those of us still learning would be awesome especially if you’re saying things like color aren’t coming through
after further reveiw……….( for these last three years i feel as if i had just studied for a college exam everyday as i seek truth about diamonds ), i think your people who have tried to find diamonds have thrown away many carats worth by not being able to identify them in the field and the washing stations. you need to notify everyone so they can identify not only kimberlite, but also lamproite. you also need to install x-ray equipment at all your washing stations so no more will be tossed at least if the finds make it back to the stations.
Looks like y’all are the only ones there is it a private party
Is there not a part 2? That ended abruptly. Did Pauly find a diamond????
The round green/aluminum sieves they are using to flip the gems over with, what brand are those? I’ve been looking for something like that.
Wow! great father!
got a good way to find them faster use a diamond tester
This place is one of my bucket list items to visit. If and when I do make it out, I hope to find a diamond, even though I know odds are long against me.
I just started out so I call myself
Pauly needs a vacation.
Dan im from Berryville Arkansas and my best friend back in my working years found one of the biggest yellow diamonds ever found there 💛 ✨
This place has been on my Bucket List for years. One day maybe..
I’ve drove by the sign to this place over 100 times in my semi and have never had the time to stop. I doubt they have truck parking, but I’ve considered finding a truck stop near Nashville Arkansas next time I’m there, doing a 34 hour reset and taking an uber to the park for 2 days in a row. Lol
Me who lives in Arkansas:
Lesson of the day folks, deworm your local pioneers hahahaha.
Next to the susey baka river there is a lot of gold
Dan hurd!!HEY!!! How the heck are you ? Wonderful I HOPE !! Shows are GReat, well I have a genius genius IDEA👍👀⚖️😂 !!! After you flip the pans over, make a small shadow box , with a window view to look through, inside box put a black light IN IT , battery run!!! Than put it over the gems turn the light on,, look inside ! Look for glowing DIAMONDS DIAMONDS !!!!😂😊 JOHNNYPOTATOES GOD BLESS YOUR WELCOME !!! PEOPLE! I CAN’T BELIEVE NOBODY HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT TILL ME YES! MAKE ONE ,DO IT !!! IT WILL BE THE BEST SHOW YOU WILL EVER DO MAYBE ?
Not heavy dense.
Been there done that! Fun week in the mud
Found jasper & agates no ice…
How can i take this video seriously when the clown behind you is photobombing and pretending to eat dirt?
Good job from lao
Anyone else see that shiner 12:37
I went there when I was younger and had a blast! Found a diamond, or at least what I’m almost 100% sure was a diamond, but sadly I put it in the paper bags that they had free and it fell out. It was a super small one and wouldn’t have been worth anything, but it was still super sad to lose. Plan on going back either this summer or next with my family
found 1 full mica geode is 30 cm also orange
Andrew Schulz ruined the word Heavies for me
Diamonds in the raw always seem to have an oily sheen to them. Does anyone else notice that?
hehe pretty funny when the red tophat dude ate gravel at 5:10 😀
I’m going to be in crater of diamonds next week, any last minute tips? I’ve seen a few videos use the big plastic bin for wet sifting – Are those available at the park or did you bring one?
Ty for ur videos 😀 enjoy the humor n professionalism 👍
huge Thumb’s up Thanks Dan Hurd for Sharing this educational video with us.

Never thought to see you here in AR Dan. Nice to see a local video made.
Welcome.
Swing by through Flippin sometime
Dan, I really enjoy watching you all work outside, digging in the dirt, excited for your next exposure…while I sit at my work desk hammering out reports and presentations…ugh, I chose the wrong profession
Pauly is insane.
At 5:07 some guy eats dirt behind you
Can diamonds be found in the areas were gold or coal is at
I hope you tested it for gold?
Can diamonds be found in areas for coal is mined
Did you get a chance to go to hotsprings ar when you were there
Paulie casually eating dirt
SOMEBODY has watched old "Benny Hill" clips, lol
I’ve enjoyed everytime I’ve been there. I dated a girl that worked there for a few months and used to get some breaks on rentals. Lol. Never found a diamond, but always find some interesting minerals. I’ll find one this year.
5:07
