Greetings from Crater of Diamonds State Park! Since the discovery of diamonds in Arkansas in 1906, prospectors have sought efficient new ways to search for this precious stone. Many of the early mine engineers who worked in the Arkansas mines had experience working in the African mines and would implement practices and equipment used in the African mines.
