Ultra Violet Light is a possibility.

You can also look for "indicator" minerals.....They don't guarantee you'll find diamonds, but if they are present your odds increase.

The only genuine diamond detectors that I know of require you to touch the diamond with the tester so that light can be refracted and reflected inside of the diamond under test. While the light used in the tester is a full spectrum light, the ultraviolet portion is critical. The diamond won't fluoresce but it does react to the UV in a very predictable way. In nature, it will not fluoresce brightly enough to be seen in its raw form.

Sorry. No diamond detectors out there. If there were such a thing, they would be for sale globally and not kept a secret by some mad scientist.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
