I FOUND $1M DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!

From ‘dirt poor’ to treasure in the ground

KEVIN KINARD, a 33-year-old bank manager from Maumelle, Ark., struck it rich plucking a 9.07-carat stone — worth an estimated $1 million — from the Crater of Diamonds State Park. The gem is the second-largest dazzler found at the site! Here, Mr. Lucky shares the story of his life-changing discovery with The National ENQUIRER!

Two friends and I were at the park by 8 a.m. on Labor Day. I was wet, sifting for about ten minutes and really didn’t care for it, so I decided to explore the plowed rows of dirt.
