You might be thinking of the dig-it-yourself diamond mine called the Crater of Diamonds near Murfreesboro in Arkansas. It is the only place in the world where you get to keep all the diamonds you find. For that matter, besides one place in California, the mine at Murfreesboro is the only place diamonds have been found in America.
Atop Table Mountain thirteen miles north of Oroville on state Highway 70 is the ghost town of Cherokee dating from 1853. Diamonds were found in the diggings around Cherokee as early as 1863. Over 300 of these diamonds, mostly of industrial quality, have been discovered there, and said to be the largest such discovery in North America.
Sorry, you'll have to go to Arkansas.

You'll have to do some seaching on the Internet, but yes there is. You pay price for a big bucket of dirt and search for diamonds. Several folks have found some great ones. but sorry I am not sure where it is. Some where in the desert.

Don't think so but there are a bunch of gold diggers in CA, especially LA.
