About this claim
At Crater of Diamonds State Park, a unique pay-to-dig venue in Arkansas, visitors can search a 37.5-acre field for real diamonds and keep their finds. Members have reported using various methods, including surface searching and wet sifting with tools like pans, shovels, and classifiers, which can be rented on-site. Many recommend visiting after rain for better visibility of diamonds and suggest bringing personal equipment for efficiency. While some past visitors noted challenges with litter and wildlife, the park's educational resources and friendly staff enhance the experience, making it a popular family destination for gem hunting. Admission is $15 for adults and $7 for children, with the park open daily from 8 AM to 5 PM.
