If anyone is in or around Arkansas it is a fun place to visit especially with kids. For a small price of admission you get to go onto the property and dig around in the dirt as much as you want. There are people in the area that do it as a hobby bringing shovels and 5-gallon buckets to see what they can find. A park ranger told us the same thing from the article that the best time to find diamonds is right after a large rainfall when the ground shifts and diamonds can be seen on the surface in the sunlight.
