Des Moines man finds valuable gem

A Des Moines man who visited Arkansas over Memorial Day weekend made a pretty rare discovery. Troy Smith was spending the weekend at the Crater of Diamonds State Park near Murfreesboro, Arkansas, which lets visitors take screens of dirt and sift for gems. Smith found a 1.97 carat diamond. It's the fourth largest diamond found at the park this year. And it's finder's keepers. No word yet on how Smith plans to use it.
