Chapter 935: 934. Garbage Area (35)

Kelly, a black woman who becomes the star of the park, reappears here later, with the diamond locked in a safe in the park, and she continues to return to work.

After she appeared, many treasure hunters surrounded her and reached out to shake hands with her. This is a tradition in the park. If you touch the lucky hand that has picked up gems, you can pass on some luck.

People kept chatting with Kelly, asking her tips for finding diamonds.

Kelly has calmed down now. She coped with everyone's inquiries in high spirits, and came to Li Du and his party with buckets and tools.

Sophie smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Ondra, the god of luck has favored you. This is really an enviable thing."

Kelly held her hand and smiled excitedly: "Yes, yes, I got God's attention and seized this opportunity. Do you know what I named the diamond?"

Sophie asked curiously, "What's your name?"

Kelly said happily: "It's Esperanza. This is my daughter's name. It is Spanish and means 'hope'. She is my hope, and this diamond is also my hope."

"It's a good name." Li Du said.

Kelly said: "Who said no? Who said no? It is the stone of hope!"

She took Sophie as a confidant, and began to talk about it: "My daughter was admitted to New York University. She chose to major in law, but I have no money to send her there. She has no scholarship, and it is difficult to apply for bursaries. And My two sons, they are very sensible, they even want to drop out of school and work to help their sister."

"That's it, hope is here. I dug up diamonds. I didn't come here with great hopes. Or, I just want to dig up two small diamonds to earn thousands of dollars..."

"But I was working for ten months, twenty hours a day, and I couldn't find anything. Every day, my daughter encouraged me, she said that I would find a diamond sooner or later, thank God, I did ..."

Looking back on the past, she didn't know whether she was excited or sad, and she cried with red eyes.

Sophie comforted her softly, introduced Li Du to her, and said that she could help her sell the diamond.

Kelly obviously didn't believe this, she dealt with it vaguely, and told Sophie that she had the contact information of a local diamond buyer, and that the diamond would sell for a good price.

At the same time, she also told Sophie: "No one here believes that there are big diamonds, but I found one. Faith, confidence and carefulness are the key. There may still be big diamonds hidden in the big rocks here."

Her words moved Li Du's heart. Previously, Li Du had been focusing on the soil, subconsciously ignoring the larger stones, looking for small stones, and then looking for gems.

This is a common practice for everyone in the park, considering that in the past eight years, no one except Kelly has found a large diamond over five carats.

Maybe he could pay attention to the park's garbage area, which is the gravel disposal area.

We look for gems from stones, first of all we find some stones, these stones are mixed with gems, which is hope, but also obstruction and interference.

Therefore, after everyone used a sieve to dry out the stones without diamonds, they would gather them together and throw them into a fixed area in the northwest corner of the park.

Over time, a large amount of gravel appeared in the northwest corner area. These gravels have been carefully selected. There are no diamonds in them, and they are all useless and worthless small gravels, so they are called garbage areas.

Li Du felt that there might be diamonds in this garbage area.

Of course, everyone is very careful when sifting stones, no matter how small the broken diamonds and gems are, they will be picked out, but what everyone cares about is the small stones, and the larger stones are basically thrown from the upper sieve without being selected. Lost.

So, he felt that there might not be small diamonds in the garbage area, but there would be big ones.

Action is worse than excitement, Li Du took Godzilla through the park to the garbage area in the northwest, planning to search carefully here.

The garbage area covers an area of ​​about half an acre. It looks like a gravel field. There are high small stones piled up here, which are numerous and undulating, like a cemetery.

There were a lot of people looking for gems in other parts of the park, and there were far fewer people here, but there were also people working, and it was obvious that not only he had thought of this, but others had also.

There is no need to use running water to wash the soil here, just pull the stones.

But there are too many stones, and the diamonds are broken and small. This is much more difficult than finding fire opal in the fossil forest park.

Most of the people who came here to look for diamonds just had an idea, and then they came to work for a while, and soon they would find that it was impossible to search for diamonds in this place, and they would eventually leave.

There are too many stones and too small, and diamonds are often too small. People may be able to find a small area in a day, and the probability of finding diamonds is even lower.

A Mexican with dyed green hair searched inside and found nothing. Angrily, he kicked the pile of rubble and said cursingly, "Go ride a horse, there's no shit here, damn it, or Don't get your hopes up here..."

The person next to him complained: "Ha, regret it? I told you a long time ago, I told you several times, don't come here, don't come here, look at that guy Rodin, he's been here for several years ? What did you find?"

The man pointed forward while talking. Li Du looked in the direction indicated by his arm, and saw a bald black man with rough skin and scruffy face sitting in the stone wall looking for something.

The green-haired Mexican argued: "There are too many stones here. If there are fewer, we may find something. I believe there must be diamonds here, but there are too many stones!"

His friend rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, several truckloads of gravel are added here every day, which is brought in by the park. They secretly throw gravel into the ground every night. It's really bad!"

The Crater of Diamonds Park has a total area of ​​only 37 acres. It is estimated that hundreds of millions of people have excavated it in the past hundred years. Even if it is a sandy land, I am afraid that every grain of sand has been found.

When the Arkansas state government took over the park in 1972, it had been overgrown.

Since then, the government has taken a series of measures to save the park's appeal, such as publicizing the diamonds found there, such as refilling it with gravel.

It is common sense to look for diamonds in gravel. The park manager at that time was very smart. He thought that it is better to look for gravel than diamonds.

Therefore, every once in a while, the park will take advantage of the re-flattening of the land to sprinkle a lot of gravel into it, increasing the workload and fun of people looking for diamonds.

The constant supply of gravel to dig up means the constant potential of diamonds, which is the real attraction.
