If you are interested in visiting the Crater of Diamonds but don't want to buy a ton of equipment, nor miss out on having anything necessary, THIS IS YOUR PLACE! The Lovejoy's were incredible from start to finish, endlessly patient when I constantly changed my reservation as I figured out what I did/didn't want (and even helped me adjust my order/add delivery THE MORNING OF AS I WALKED INTO THE SHOP) they offer the absolute best deal BY FAR AND WIDE and are genuinely the nicest people ❤️ even Christina who was working in the afternoon was a gem herself, regaling us with stories of searching and recovering her own "baby" - a 7LB hunk of quartz offered on display with a great story to back it up!!! Their gift shop has a rock in the budget for everyone as a souvenir of a great town and an absolutely fantastic little business.

We didn't get to use the equipment we reserved. A bad storm rolled through and we decided the crater of diamonds was unsafe for our kids.
The previous day we looked through the various mining kits and they had a good variety of choices and prices. The woman attending to us was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and helped us pick out a package that had the things we needed. We had some screens and gem sieves but we needed a couple more for our group. We chose a package with a wagon, 2 screens, a gem sieve, and a canopy that covers an area for shade. We were able to add 2 chairs for a few $ more. Really good looking equipment from what I saw. Will definitely be back here to get my supplies for...
