Barry G. Smith of Germantown, Tennessee, pulled a 2.29-carat yellow diamond out of the dirt at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas, a find so striking that the park's own facility supervisor said he was "dumbfounded." Smith made the discovery on August 16 while on a family outing with his wife and two granddaughters, Sage and Juniper. The group rented a wagon and a basic search kit from the park, headed to the East Drain section of the 37-acre diamond field, and started sifting. Roughly thirty minutes later, Smith spotted something glimmering in the soil. He picked it up, thought it might be mica, and dropped it in his shirt pocket. It was not mica.

A video of a white-as-snow albino buck sprinting across a road in Wisconsin's Northwoods has taken Instagram by storm, a sight so rare that even lifelong outdoorsmen say they may never witness it twice.

The person behind the camera seemed to grasp the moment. In the Instagram caption, @joelord_wi wrote: "Well I hope this was a good omen for fishing this…Open

A video of a ghost-white buck sprinting across a Wisconsin road has taken off on Instagram, and for anyone who has spent time in the state's forests, the footage is as rare as it gets. Instagram user @joelord_wi shared the clip this week, showing a full-racked albino whitetail deer bounding across a road somewhere in the Wisconsin Northwoods. The animal, bright white from nose to tail, with a heavy set of antlers, moved fast enough that the encounter lasted only seconds. But those seconds were enough to send the video racing across social media. Albino whitetail deer are staggeringly uncommon. Only about one in every 30,000 whitetail births produces an albino, Fox Weather has reported . Wisconsin does not publish an exact count of albino…Open
