I remember hearing about this place when I lived in Arkansas. I was surprised how many people have found diamonds but still think it's like taking a vacation to sift through dirt. You always see metal detector guy at the beach so very low odds of finding a valuable are vacation material I suppose.

Does this easy money thrill vacation cut across income levels? I s there a dad out there living hand to mouth who says, "Vacation time kids! We're going to Quiktrip to get Mega Millions, Powerball and Jumbo Bucks tickets!"?
