For a great Diamond Hunting Experience and more, do not delay to make your plans to come to
THE CREATOR OF DIAMONDS STATE PARK
209 STATE PARK ROAD
MURFREESBORO, ARKANSAS
What exactly do we mean by Hunting for Diamonds? Do we mean like in a cave like old Gold Mines? No, At The COD- (Creator of Diamonds State Park), It’s surface hunting on
The ground that has been plowed up regularly.
If you have ever hunt artifacts in a field like a garden that has been freshly plowed
And you find pretty rocks maybe arrowheads or pottery ect, then you will feel at home at the COD.
The COD has 911 acres of fun waiting for you. You are allowed to take tools of your own inside the hunting ground, AS LONG AS IT IS NOT MOTORIZED OR BATTERY OPERATED. That means you can take shovels, buckets , racks, sifters and even a garden wagon to pull to the watershed.
NOTE: THE TOOL RENTAL IS CLOSED BECAUSE OF COVID AS OF THE WRITING OF THIS ARTICLE IN MARCH 2021.
But like I mentioned, you can bring your own tools inside with you. Now what tools are needed?
This question can only be answered by how much you want to find a DIAMOND.
Shovels, buckets. Screens sifters, and I suggest a good gardening or construction wagon with pneumatic tires,to make it easier to get your spoil to the watershed.
Hunting Diamonds is not all you can do there, they have a river trail for hiking,
They have campgrounds with bathrooms and hot showers. They have a swimming pool
But you may want to call ahead to see if it is open. I will leave Links to youtube videos about what you should expect when you go( not IF but WHEN), I believe you will enjoy yourself .
You do want to expect to get dirty digging and looking for Diamonds, so dress in old clothes and they let each person take home with them 5 gallons of sifted gravel .
When I was there in 2014 they announced over the P.A. that someone had found a diamond in the gravel they took with them a couple weeks after he was home he was looking through the gravel and discovered a yellow diamond.
Thank You for reading and please click the links to learn about the CREATOR OF DIAMONDS STATE PARK and come and enjoy . You will notice Other State Parks in Arkansas and they are all worth the trip.
