Illinois Man Finds 4 Diamonds in Arkansas Park—Then Finds 2 More

What's better than finding one diamond? Easy answer is two, but a man in Illinois beat that by a mile. He found 4 diamonds while visiting a park in Arkansas then discovered after he got home that there were 2 more.

Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park is a fascinating place where you really can find diamonds

The Diamonds in Arkansas Facebook page just shared amazing news about a man from Belleville, Illinois named Jason Rigdon. They said that he visited this famous Arkansas gem location between November 3 and November 10 and was excited that he found 4 diamonds. Awesome. But wait, there's more. When he got home, he sorted through the gems and realized that he had found 6 diamonds and not 4! Wow! You can see pictures he shared of these sweet diamonds, too.

Jason from Belleville is not alone is his diamond finding adventures. Over the years, I've seen stories of many who have found huge diamonds that would easily increase your bank account significantly. About 12 years ago, a 12-year-old boy found a 5.16 carat diamond there. Earlier this year a Florida couple found a 3.36 carat diamond.

The beauty of this Arkansas park is that it has a finders, keepers policy. You find a diamond (or in the case of the Belleville, Illinois guy "diamonds" plural) and it's yours to keep and profit from if you want.
