Join us as we find treasure in Arkansas and relax in a real hot spring! Our journey will begin in the Crater of Diamonds State Park in  Murfreesboro, Arkansas. The only public diamond mine in the world, Crater of Diamonds offers you a one-of-a-kind adventure - the opportunity to hunt for real diamonds and to keep any you find. Since the park opened in 1972, more than 19,000 diamonds have been found, many of which are of gemstone quality!

Next we will spend time at two different quartz crystal mines. At both mines we will have pockets of stones removed for us and placed in a safe environment were we can finish working on them. This will involve a little easy, non-strenuous work and promises to be very exciting and rewarding as we discover what treasures our crystal pocket holds!. We GUARANTEE you will come home with treasure!

Between our treasure seeking time we will visit the city of Hot Springs to do some shopping. Bring your bathing suit because the city offers tourists the chance to soak and relax in a real hot spring! That will be an opportunity to remember!

This trip is completely safe and totally above ground (outdoors). Mine employees will handle all digging and carrying of material that we will sift through.

Special Trip Bonus - the soil in the area is red clay which is absolutely guaranteed to permanently embed in your clothes and leave them a beautiful light reddish color. Use this opportunity to retire an outfit that you don’t like, to style up an old outfit or to develop a new favorite! Bonus points for the artistic traveler who ends up with the best “new” outfit!
