If there was enough to make a profit it wouldnt be open to the public.

There was a recent What on Earth or some show like that where they went to a place in Namibia where there are a LOT more diamonds just lying in the sand. Somebody has been able to keep these off the market for decades. You can go there and pick some up, but you likely wont get out alive. They watch that place pretty closely. The guy on the show hadnt been there long (after a LONG drive through NOWHERE) when a guy showed up and politely told him he needed to go.

These rocks don’t lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend!”
So are deeds to land (lotsa land!), precious metals, Hello Kitty rifles, ammo, dry socks, sturdy boots, a good knife, cases of canned goods and a manual can opener!
Just sayin’. ;)

...dry socks.... I have such fond memories of dry socks being the best experience I ever had. I finished a Field Exercise once and my BDUs walked home by themselves. They had to. I wouldnt let them in my car.

My wife loves that song. I could never figure out why. When we got married I couldnt afford a diamond. I finally got her one for her 25th Anniversary. Maybe that was why she loved it. It took me 25 years to get the hint. Which one is actually the Diamond Anniversary? 50? I may need to do it again in a couple years.

Thats a tough cut
I see several small stones or a marquis and some mellie
Despite the color wont be much value

Ah, so thats where I lost my 3.72-carat yellow diamond. Big thanks to Ms. Hollingshead for finding it. If she would forward it to me Id really appreciate it.

“Hollingshead said she hasn’t decided whether to have the diamond appraised and sold, or whether to mount it to a ring as a souvenir.”
I think I would find out its real value, then decide if I want the stone or the money.

I'm sure she's already had someone look at it....and give her some ideas.
She's just looking for folks to contact her.

One can never go wrong with diamonds.
I'd rather have a puppy, though.

Rule 2 violation. Don’t talk to the state park rangers about your “find”. They over value it and tax you right there.
