[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 256147, member: 487"] Sorry to say Kawman but Diamonds will revert to graphite at high enough temperatures, lower than 1700 deg c in the presence of oxygen. They may have survived but are probably irreperably damaged. I hope not though and they can be found again. If you know the exact spot they were maybe using a pinpointer to find the metals may help or a sieve and a barrel of water. [/QUOTE]
