    Jim, I was given the chance to cut quite a few of the diamonds from
    the park years ago and even got to cut a rough D Flawless 6.5 carat
    diamond into a 2.89 pearshape. So the old timers invited me down to
    try my luck and they at that time were digging holes and screen
    washing what they got concentrated. But I have heard that there is no
    more digging allowed but you can take buckets up to their water
    supply and wash them for heavies like you would gold...I knew what to
    look for and found a mighty .05 carat rough diamond for three days
    work but had the time of my life hearing all the stories and pretty
    country. Ron Kreml
