    This was such fun time to be able to experience up close a diamond find even though they found it earlier before I arrived! It was cool to see the confirmation process!
    To me these Diamonds are tough to spot, makes me wonder how many people find them but just don’t identify them in their buckets.

I won’t be able to see them and that’s way too much heavy stuff and all. But we’re gonna meet, I swear! I think you’re right that most people overlook a lot. Or I could just meet up with Toni in her private dig pit - your backyard! LOL!

      Once you see that shine your first diamond gives off you'll be able to spot them. Anyway what they aren't showing is them going through the buckets of centers they pulled. That's where they are more than likely to find one on a cookie sheet under the light of the kitchen table.
