Ronnie Hawkins, an Arkansas-born rock & roller who aspired to a real career, put together a backing band that year that included his fellow Arkansan Levon Helm (born May 26, 1940), who played drums (as well as credible guitar) and had led his own band, the Jungle Bush Beaters.
Both women and men know the value of a diamond and spend millions of dollars a year buying diamonds and diamond jewelry for loved ones. It is just as incredible that there have been only two active diamond mines in our storied history and only one of them is currently active. The Crater of Diamonds is a dig for a fee diamond mine in Arkansas and is the only active diamond mine in the US.
The answer might surprise you. Arkansasâs Crater of Diamonds State Park is the only diamond-producing site in the world where the public can search for diamonds. And the policy here is finders, keepers, meaning the diamonds you find are yours to keep. To hunt for diamonds you will search atop a 37 1/2-acre plowed field, the eroded surface of an ancient, gem-bearing volcanic crater.
