Dewy White from Paoli, Indiana, visited Crater of Diamonds State Park on October 2 and found a 2.71-carat white diamond.
White and his wife spent two days searching the park's 37.5-acre area before leaving, and upon their return, they revisited the park for three more days.
A very nice gentleman I met on my first day out here suggested that area," noted White. "He seemed like he knew what he was doing, and it looked like a nice, shaded spot.
Using screens he purchased, White dug in the Canary Hill area by the south wash pavilion, utilizing the dry sifting method to find the diamond.
