Details: Diamonds! This is a state-managed collecting location in which you can find gem quality diamonds, as well as pink garnets, black spinel, quartz, amethyst, agates, and jasper. Check out http://www.rockhoundingar.com or http://www.craterofdiamondsstatepark.com/.
If you don't find any diamonds make sure you find some good agates or jaspers. Maybe you can sell the agates on ebay to someone who can polish them.
As for looking for diamonds, there are several methods. Walking around after it rains might help you find exposed diamonds. The professionals are proficient at digging 10 foot holes to find gravel deposits at the bottom of hill slopes. They probably find most of the diamonds at the park (and work hard for it). Treasure hunting is about stories sometimes sparking interest. Publicity usually happens for larger stones or ones people find while walking around.
