Crater of
Diamonds State Park, AR USA
Tools Specifically Selected For
Prospecting At The Park, By Gene Casanova
|
Intro
After Visiting The Park And Speaking With The
Hardcore Hunters Found Often At The,
Investigating Their Various Methods, Researching
Geologist Theories On How Diamonds Are Formed
And Where They Can Be Found, Plus My Own
Experiments At The Diamond Field And In The Lab
Over The Past Two Years, I Have Comprised A List
Of Tools That Will Offer Effective Results For
The Recreational Diamond Hunter And The Hardcore
Hunters.
Today Is March 2nd 2007, The Day I Returned Back
To Milwaukee And Now In My Lab, After Spending A
Week At The Diamond Field Doing Field Research
And Digging My First Mine Shaft. The Short
Lived Test Shaft Was Dug To A Depth Of About 6
feet, With The Help Of Two Great Guys That Work
For The US Forestry Service. Thank You
Guys! That Was A Fun Day At The
Field.
Based On My Field Experiments In Different
Recovery Methods Along With The Help Of My Two
New Friends, I Will Be Reviewing Tools And
Making a List Of Quality Tools (Worth Investing
My Money In) That Will Offer Reliable
Performance. With Quality Tools, A
Recreational Prospector Has A Better Chance Of
Coming Across A Rare Diamond. The
Professional Tools Offer Hardcore Diamond Miners
At The Park A Chance To process More Material In
Less Time!
This Page Will Slowly Evolve With Tools I Hand
Selected. Why Would I Want To Help Others
Find Diamonds? Simple, I Am Not Greedy And
I Am Intelligent Enough To Realize One Human
Cannot Dig Out 680 Feet Of Diamond Producing
Kimberlite! So The More People I Help
Learn The Process, The More Material Can Be
Removed And Processed, Opening Up Virgin Layers
Below To Search. Common Sense.

The Flat Side
Presented The
Perfect Tool For
Breaking Free Chunks
Of Mud/Clay Material
Which Could Be
Easily Thrown From
Hole.
The Pointed Side Was
Most Effective For
Breaking Into And
Working Downward
Through The Solid
Green Tuff.
The Pointed End
Penetrated And Broke
Off Tuff In Large
Chunks, Which Made
It Easy To Handle
And Remove From The
Hole Quickly.
The Larger Chunks
Made Progress Down
Easy And Faster Than
Using A Large Pick,
Shovel, Or
Full-Sided Spade
Shovel.
+++ The
Small Test Mine Shaft
Pictured, Was Started Using
The Estwing Geologist PIck's
Flat Side In The Clay. Each
Swing Brought Up A Large
Chunk Which Would Be Thrown
To The Side.
Once
The Hard Green Layer Was
Exposed, The Point Was Used
To Drive Into The Hard Pack
And Fracture Out Large
Chunks Which Were Easy To
Lift From The Hole.

After
Busting Into A Solid Layer
Of Kimberlite Rock For
Hours, The Sharp Edge Was
Still In Place During My
First Visit To The Diamond
Field Park In 2006.
After 2 Hours Of Shopping
Into The Kimberlite Making
My First Dig Of 2007, The
Edge At The End Of The Week
Still Looks Sharp!
A Person
At The Park Shown Me A
Counterfeit Folding Spade,
Thinking He Had Gotten It
Cheaper Than Everyone Sells
It For. Little Did
This Person Know, He Bought
a Cheap China Made Low-Grade
Toy Counterfeit!
If You
Are Looking For Cheap Fine -
However At $30, The
Made-In-China Counterfeit
Folding Shovel Will Not
Provide The Durable Service,
Efficient Digging And Short
Service Life; So Why Waste
The $30?
Lucky For
Me This Guy Was At The
Diamond Field During My 2007
Visit. I Was
Able To Use His Counterfeit
Shovel And After Only About
A Total Of An Hour Or Two Of
Digging And Chopping Into
The Green Tuff Ash, And
Kimberlite, The Edge Of The
Counterfeit Shovel Already
Was Showing Signs Of
Chipping And Denting.
If I Had More Time With The
Shovel, I Would Have Worn
Out The Blade Edge In A Day
or Two!
For Any
Digging, A Sharp Edge
Durable Blade Is An Absolute
Must. Why Waste Hours
Digging With Soft Cheap
China Made Steel Tools, When
A Pro0fessional Grade Tool
Will Get It Done In Seconds?
Save Your Money And Buy The
Fiskar Portable Pack Shovel
Made In Finland And Imported
Into America By The Gerber
