.... It was a National Park.... That Diamond is Government Property.

"I'm planning on going. Have more homework to do before I go, though."

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Proverbs 8:33

I believe God loves everyone of us, and he wants to give us things of value.. But, he tells us in many places in the Bible that we must BE WISE..! We must study up and learn what is of value, and what isn't...

I spend a lot of time walking and riding my quad in the creek.. LOTS of stones, some look very much like what could be valuable gems.. But, I'm not wise enough to know the difference... :(

So, be wise and BONE UP on Geology (I've tried, it's a tough subject) so you'll know what you looking for, and enjoy.... :)

Gotta go there!

.... It was a National Park.... That Diamond is Government Property.

The article title says "National", but in the article it says "State"...once again, I'm forced to ask, who the hell writes this stuff?

Regardless, since it's gubmint at some level, I'd be shocked if they didn't claim ownership. If it were me, I'd say I found it in my yard.

It’s just you

The article title says "National", but in the article it says "State"..

Sorry, I'll flame myself...it IS a National park, even though some paragraphs in the article also reference it as a State park. Do people actually read what they write?

—”Supposedly many people find diamonds in this after they go home.”

Yes, I saw many wagons with full buckets loaded in the parking lot headed out.

And when our daughter and family went, they brought home some nice gravel.

“Are you sane? That was the part of the story. Never mind.”

I just got a kick out of everyone but you and me wondering the what the hell park they were talking about. I felt like I didn’t measure up.

[DUMBGRUNT]

--"national park?" The writers are in NYC, Crater of Diamonds State Park is way deep into flyover country.
Terra incognita for them.

Have you seen the map of NYC that ends at the Hudson river?

Your Brave does not sound all that faithful.

My ever faithful Linux companion has yet to sound an alarm on the site?

Are you sure you’re logged in?

Have you tried resetting?

Would you believe, power down for one minute...

I have spent my entire life collecting rocks and minerals and fossils.

I almost became a geologist, but when I was going to school, geologists weren’t being hired.

So I became an engineer.

So shoot me. ;-)

—”I had wanted to go...”

SEE THE WORLD BEFORE YOU LEAVE IT!

—”Idiot editor didn’t even skim the story.”
Good editors cost real money!

MS Word will do just fine.

—”That Diamond is Government Property.”

Biden is told, and has it on a card; everything is government property.

—”Gotta go there!”

Lots of fun and just maybe...

Plus the biscuits and gravy in town were among the best!

Same day even.

I was arguing language proficiency, you are arguing content.

I think both arguments easily win against the truly demented LSM.

One of the tips we were given was at intervals they plow the area. That’s when some say there are great finds.

[Freedom56v2]

Agreed!

I should clarify I had wanted to go when I was in the neighborhood—and I visited fairly often—but wanted to see the grandkids more than bling ;)

Will probs get down there next time I am down south :)
