Navas was in the United States to witness the launch of United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the state park said in a statement. Afterwards, we decided to stop in New Orleans, Louisiana, where we learned about a special state park.
With his past experience mining for gold and searching for ammonite fossils, it seemed like a great idea. When he arrived, it had just rained in the area, so the ground was muddy. But that didn't stop Navas from digging up treasure using his diamond hunting kit.
Rain washes dirt off the surface of the ground, sometimes exposing rocks, minerals and diamonds, said Waymon Cox, assistant park ranger.
After several hours of work, Navas brought his find to the Diamond Discovery Center where he was told he had found a brown diamond.
“So happy! All I'm thinking about is telling my fiance what I found,” he said, adding that he plans to take his daughter to the park sometime in the future. Additionally, he named his discovery the Karine Diamond in honor of his fiancée.
A man in December discovered KPRC reported finding a 5-carat diamond while hiking in the park, adding that at first they thought it was a piece of glass.
A similar incident occurred in November 2022, when a couple enjoying a road trip to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary discovered a brown diamond weighing about 2 carats in a park, according to Breitbart News.
