Crater of Diamonds, NOT!

The name shall be changed to Crater of Diamonds to Crater of Jasper.

Finding the diamonds requires a bit more training than the videos shown at the visitor center.  Tired of not finding diamonds except some reflective, shining dust in the soils, collecting pretty rocks was the way to go.  Most of the rocks caught my attention were Jasper. What is Jasper? Gem stone quality?

What is the best method to look for diamonds?  Who's knows?  Commercial mining technology is quite different from the armature family fun at the Crater of Diamonds - no motorized tools are allowed.
