“Woman digs for diamond ring”
A woman didn’t want to buy a diamond engagement ring — so she decided to dig for one instead.
Micherre Fox, 31, from New York City, camped out for three weeks at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas with a shovel and a mission — to dig up her own diamond.
Fox stayed in a tent and dug daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., taking only one day off. The summer heat was brutal, and she admits she was physically unprepared.
“There were days where I wouldn’t shower for several days,” she said. “By the time I got out I was so tired and hurt … I couldn’t muster the energy to spend 10 minutes undressing and taking a shower.”
On her final day, she went out in the field one last time. She found a 2.3-carat diamond—the third largest discovered at the park this year.
