Maybe we have an area like this park in Arkansas. Dirt field diamonds.

A young girl just found a 3.85 carat yellow canary diamond there recently. People find them regularly. About 400 diamonds found over 37 acres in 2013.
Gold panners should learn to look for diamonds too. |
There have been many kimberlites discovered in Alberta, some bearing diamonds, but so far none with economic amounts. Hopefully one day soon someone finds one!
