Hey Everyone! Thanks for watching the video! Let’s aim for 500 Likes and i’ll give away a diamond once we reach 10,000 Subscribers!! Thank you all for the support!⛏💎👍
What a great video! We're planning a trip up to COD in the middle of this coming November. I appreciate that you made this video to instruct others, it shows a character equal to the value of the diamonds you seek. Many others would hoard this information for selfish means but you've chosen to help. Thank you for your efforts to guide others in their search.
I do something similar, I search for diamonds in storage units. I have found probably over 100 in the past 5 years the biggest being over 1 carat and being mounted in 14k gold. My way seems to be much less labor intensive.
This is a really great adventure. Very interesting way to find the gravel. Thanks for sharing some of your trade secrets with the community of prospectors.😎👍👍👌👌⛏⛏
Great, informative, and interesting video as always. And I know you were upset about the algorithm recently but don't let it get you down. Your content is always great to watch. I say if you are going diamond mining anyways you might as well film it, it really helps those of us who can't get out to mine ourselves scratch that itch for mining. Anyway I hope you get some nice diamonds real soon for all that hard work and effort you have been putting in - especially in that sweltering heat.
Great video, glad to have you back at the Diamond Mine. Like that probe. Did you hear the other day about the guy that left his stuff at the wash station and went to get another bucket of gravel and went he got back all his stuff was gone. His screens and his brand new seruca. Said there were a couple of ladies there when he left and they were gone along with his stuff when he returned. Doesn't know if they took it or someone else. Bad stuff.
Thats terrible to hear some people cant keep their hands off others belongings. another reason why I like my classifiers and recommend them because you’re able to lock them up with a combination cable. Plus they are different from any classifiers. Thanks for watching !
Awesome tip!! Definitely want to go back and explore and dig once it gets cooler. Still in search of my first diamond!! Hope you are doing well my friend!! Be safe and stay well!!
I'll be there right after Thanksgiving. It's on the way back to Houston from the midwest, so I figured why not to give it a try. Zero experience in this type of activity, but these videos are very useful.
@@joshuaashleysandbank5182 They will let you rent certain tools, but you're better off if you bring your own quit equipment, that way you know you have what you want to work with. Their equipment is not near as good as his, and I have gotten misleading information. These videos have been very informational for me, because when I go out there, they tell me different things than what his experience has shown me. And, you don't have to spend a lot more money to rent equipment.
Excellent information! i’ll be making a new probe this week. Mine was 1/2” shaft, got stuck at the crater. If anyone finds my 15’ probe 1/2” shaft. please let me know. Great video Diamond Miner Ivins!👍🤙
Whaaa..washing stations with troubled waters? Last time I was there they had a pump handle for water and you had to hand process evidence with your own buckets...about the time you were born.
Very informational videos. We are headed there in June, and we had no idea that it was so much work. Thanks for the tips!! Do you find arrow heads also?
Those centers were amazing!! You are definitely on to something! How hot was it when you were here? I would like to come out and help you get more buckets per day. I dont want anything but just to help you increase your chances of getting a diamond. Let me know if you would like to meet up this fall. Nice work! Love this video. Great work brother!!
Im always looking for extra help out there! lol It was triple digits im sure. its always 10 degrees hotter on the search field because of all the rocks, and clay. we are in a oven baking when down in a hole of volcanic material
Thank you for showing your techniques. I thought that one stone looked like a diamond too! Now I also realize I need to be sure I have a tetanus booster before I go back! 😆
What tray are you talking about at home? Can you make a few videos of how you do your final clean up or processing? that would be realy helpful to a newbe like me. Love the videos Mr Ivins. TY, Mike from Orange, Tx.
Grease table was the worst way to try to recover diamonds there’s so many things that have to be perfect for the Diamond‘s will not stick. Thanks for watching !
@@DiamondMinerIvins been there done that I was one of two people that got to dredge with a 5-inch on elk River we came up ounce sized nuggets the next River over and I will say one of the best salmon fishing rivers in the country had 20 dredges on it their biggest we're smaller than our smallest elk River did not have any fine gold sixers River had all the fines no because of irresponsibility we can no longer do what helped the habitat fed hundreds of fish every year when the hatchery couldn't produce the quantity or quality put a sport of Greece across the bottom plate using a sluice box where you're at with the right material I can eliminate 3/4 only take back what you need no the 3-inch rock you wash off and throw away minus material that counts
Brother, i can give you a pointer on aquiring a killer probe . Go to a car junkyard find a older model car lift the trunk lid the springs that hold up the trunk is what you want. 1/4 inch dia. they vary in size so you can have a choice . most already have a handle cut off one end and sharpen it to a point. done deal real simple opp. Now why these are sooo good they are made of spring steel big ringing sound when it hits chert and heavys dull sound on limestone and sandstone. believe me been using several for years to find artifacts and i have found many with this method . try it you won't believe the results.
I totally see, DMI makes it look easy. What about attaching a cup, and even magnetic paint, see the hematite, hear the chart? Very Cool! Probably work in river beds and other such.
@@GGhiedelainetheinvisiblevet You won't believe how good it actually works till you have one in your hand it hits flint chert it is loud sand stone is dull and moving side to side on sandstone or limestone it grinds I figured it out by myself it is the spring steel that makes it work mild steel thread rod works but not like spring steel. the probes i have have found me many points under the surface and on top i drag it as i walk and ding what was that ,,,,,,,,,,,,,score and i wasn't even looking ....
Love that you drag it and the sound alerts you, too cool!!! Thanks for sharing in details. Just makes me more feverish to go and rough n tough it out! 👍🤙
I spotted that, what you thought was a diamond also, when you 1st put camera on that center, my eyes zoomed straight to that. I'm curious. Was it a diamond?
nice video thanks for sharing it i'm learning a lot from you... first time I want I was so lost didn't know what the hell I was doing but next time I will find at least one diamond for sure or i'm not leaving... was that a diamond by the way it so looked like one?
Actually, when you exit the Crater of Diamonds Park they have someone stationed there that will go through what you have, will tell you what each piece is, and if you do find a diamond, they will certify it for you, and they will buy it back from you, but I suggest selling it elsewhere, if that is what you intend to do with it.
Another huge advantage of owning a set of my DMI classifiers all are able to be locked up using a cable around the wooden post at the wash pavilions, and keep within sight of my stuff
Have you or anyone else thought about making the hole and using one of the little endoscope lighted h.d.camera that Amazon etc.sells for cell phones.spend an hour just man in holes 1" diameter in grid pattern over an area??just asking.im sure you guys already tried that.and if successful soul probably be using one..answered my own question
Lol we get 100 buckets some times out of a hole and zero diamonds. All you can do is wash and pray! Wash and pray! Hey possibly new video title. Wash and Pray! 😂

Liked! Congratulations on nearly reaching 10k, that's an awesome milestone.
Headed out there this weekend. Wanna come out and dig?
I'll bring the safety pamphlet 😀
i would, but i’m helping my buddy start his new business. How did you do??
hahaha 👌🏼
"When you're digging, you're living. Everything else is just waiting." That quote alone is worth the video watch.
Thanks! 🤘

Wow i learn so much from your videos! Please keep teaching us Master Miner!
TY DMI for teaching how to get to the good gravel indicators. WoW, you're really strong!!!!

Love your channel so much!!!!!! Can’t wait to one day finally get to start “digging for a living”💛💛💛💛
Thank you for the love and support!⛏💎
I bought the tickets for this weekend. I'm excited.
I'll be there right after Thanksgiving. It's on the way back to Houston from the midwest, so I figured why not to give it a try. Zero experience in this type of activity, but these videos are very useful.
Do you bring your own tools to dig and sift or do they supply it when you buy your entrance ticket?
Awesome! Hope you had fun. thanks for watching
Bring your own equipment

Saw your i.e.c shirt I went to the i.e.c. to! Cool to see a fellow electrician!
This I.E.C was short for Ivins Electronic & Controls. Business I started in 2008. Thanks a lot for the support Sparky!!
Diamond mining: this saying is correct. "Looking for a needle in a haystack" Wow...you have some patience. Loved your video
thanks a lot for the support!!
Very good job
Such an informative video, makes me want to search for diamonds, on land and in water :) Looks like so much muddy fun! #beastmode
You put in the work 👍🏼
Great vid as always 🤗
my Daughter and I have been there a few years ago. it was fun but didn't come out ahead.
Beastmode along with a fatty safety meeting
🤷🏼♂️👌🏼

Good information, I would need to have someone dig for me!!😂
Thank you! Let me know, and i’ll meet you there, and dig for you, plus wash.
@@DiamondMinerIvins I just might take take you up on that!!

@@DiamondMinerIvins True! Didnt think about it that way, but you are right. How is the temperature around the middle of October?
Thank you for showing your techniques. I thought that one stone looked like a diamond too! Now I also realize I need to be sure I have a tetanus booster before I go back! 😆

I have a few videos uploaded going over my centers on the tray. Thanks for watching and the support
Try looking through your centers with the sun shining on it. Your diamond will outshine the others.
The sun does help the most! Thanks for watching !
cool hunt fam. keep it up. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
Great video and lesson. Learned a lot.
What a nice find!!!
will there be enough water flowing for small sluice 3', put a greace trap and go for small diamonds
Grease table was the worst way to try to recover diamonds there’s so many things that have to be perfect for the Diamond‘s will not stick.
Thanks for watching !

Thank you for watching !
maybe there is a lot a lot diamond in that batch of that rock gravel group together, 100%possibility
Your centers r beautiful
That’s so nice of you to say.
🙂
Looks awesome hope you find one in there today
Wow good luck!
One of these days I will make it here. It would be fun and maybe I might find something good.
Are we talking about us safety meeting with...... Lettuce of the devil's variety? Lol
bahah. Nope. not. at. all.
@@DiamondMinerIvins lol 😂
Love seeing people's reaction when you don't know them . hilarious
It looks like he had some safety meetings at the end ..lmao ☺😎
theres a diamond below in the right side of the group of white rock crystal in the last portion of the video
oh no!! looks like someone off ebay, or Patrons will get it!! Thanks for watching !
What time?
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Thank you for watching !
Are your safety meetings drinking a beer, smoking a cig, or left handed one, or just eating and relaxing?
Thanks brother
Thank you so much for the support! 💎⛏
Wow look how many subscribers and views!!! Great Job!!!!
Nice thanks for sharing your technique !
I'm a framer from washington the everGREEN state and i'm sure i know what a safety meeting mean's.We use the same term.LOL
Hell yea that I say there could be a diamond in the rock

Great videos keep up the good work...
What about using a post hole digger? Just curious. I thought you wanted to check if it is plywood
Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you sir!
I want to take a trip to come look for diamonds. Do I need to bring my own supplies? And if so what do I need to bring?
yes you will need classifiers If you decide to wet sift the material to find your diamonds which is the best way. Thanks for watching
A wagon, lunch and drinks, if you get out early enough, you should need a canopy. Many buckets, shovels, sifters, lawn chair, sunscreen.
Highly recommend filling buckets though and then going to the station. We went for the first time and wasted a lot of time going back and forth.
Clean the tank out for dimions I bet the old man's happy
Definitely sounded like a piece of plywood to me.
😁🤷🏼
What is “safety meeting” code for?
Great videos!
Learning an extreme amount.
Will make it down there some day.
It has several meanings!! 😉
Thanks for watching and the support!!
Smoking a bowl of weed
@@wrinkyscarnagecrew thank you. Was wondering lol 😂
Was out there yesterday no luck though. When you coming back?
You should get a probe like I use at the cemetery, much easier than the T-probe. We have stainless steel hammer probes.
Another great video !!
I spotted that, what you thought was a diamond also, when you 1st put camera on that center, my eyes zoomed straight to that. I'm curious. Was it a diamond?
No it was quartz 😉
Great video
Like a beast!
Meow 🐱
I like your channel. 😁
Thank you so much !
You should make some grunting sounds when your shaking it lol
😂
AWESOME
Thanks for watching !
nice video thanks for sharing it i'm learning a lot from you... first time I want I was so lost didn't know what the hell I was doing but next time I will find at least one diamond for sure or i'm not leaving... was that a diamond by the way it so looked like one?
You should keep all of the sapphires. They're valuable...
They were given to me, to give away. :)
Will any of that water filled dirt turn so soft it can be like quicksand
Excellent Video! I really enjoyed that. Peace
Do you have a book on tools and techniques for the Crater of Diamonds you could recommend ? Thanks.
You should bring a diamond tester. Save you a lot of time and help you to identify your stones.
I have one. Park doesn’t allow any electronic tools into the park. Thanks for watching!
Its hard pack not hard pan also you should heat up your probe and then quench it to harden it so it becomes less flexible
😂
Really
How come there's not like a million people digging for diamonds here??
because its work LOL
Because they're worthless fractured tiny pebbles at best, and it will take hundreds of hours of back breaking work to find a $5 stone 🤣
does people dig for just the diamonds to keep or is their someplace that will buy them once found?
Actually, when you exit the Crater of Diamonds Park they have someone stationed there that will go through what you have, will tell you what each piece is, and if you do find a diamond, they will certify it for you, and they will buy it back from you, but I suggest selling it elsewhere, if that is what you intend to do with it.
Do you bring the cage to lock your stuff in or are those at the part for rent?
Legend
I am
Do they have restrooms and a restaraunt there?
Some people are lucky at this site
Love the video. Man all that work makes my back hurt. Oh
Quit peeing your pants. Take a safety meeting ..lol
Thanks
How do you keep people from messing with your stuff when you have "safety meetings " or take a lunch break??
Another huge advantage of owning a set of my DMI classifiers all are able to be locked up using a cable around the wooden post at the wash pavilions, and keep within sight of my stuff
U r teaching me alit but I. Very smart an I do believe i have designed a way to locate diamonds in the ground like u use a metal detector for change
Workbenches and a roof...concrete pad..help..it's gone Hollywood down there.
Do u have amber rocks in there too
Have you or anyone else thought about making the hole and using one of the little endoscope lighted h.d.camera that Amazon etc.sells for cell phones.spend an hour just man in holes 1" diameter in grid pattern over an area??just asking.im sure you guys already tried that.and if successful soul probably be using one..answered my own question
Lol we get 100 buckets some times out of a hole and zero diamonds. All you can do is wash and pray! Wash and pray! Hey possibly new video title. Wash and Pray! 😂
