We took a drive today down to the southwest part of the state to Crater of Diamonds State Park where anyone – for the price of admission – can prospect for diamonds and “Any diamonds, semi-precious stones, rocks or minerals you unearth are yours to keep, regardless of their value.” We didn’t do any digging this time, but probably will go over some time for a day or two, just to say that we did.
While we there, we checked out the campground and took a short hike on a trail that’s next to the campground.
After I started this contract job, I bought a new camera. The previous camera had been banged around quite a bit over the last four years and the LCD screen is broken. The new camera is a recently released Pentax with a lot of nice features – it’s certainly more user friendly – including the capability of video. It really seems strange shooting video using a single lens reflex, but here’s the first uploaded video:

Congratulations on the new video camera. Great results too!
Thanks. I’ve figured out some other settings that would have given a more natural color, though (less blue-ish).
This is very fun post and I envy your the video posting capabilities NICE. I should go to this park and get myself a diamond! I got a French Motobacane Touring Bike instead of an engagement ring 35 years ago. After children and cancer I can not longer ride so the kids have this power full amazing bike….I still have no ring!!
Thanks. — Most of the diamonds that people find are quite small and I would imagine most people don’t find any at all. We’ll probably go there, maybe this spring, and try our hand at it. However, our expectations will not be very high.
