Can you find a diamond on the ground?

Finding a diamond 'on the ground' logically means -- in populated areas -- that someone has lost a diamond. The found diamond will probably be cut and polished. If you are in an area where diamonds are mined, you could 'find a diamond on the ground'. The diamond in this case, however, belongs to the site holder or land owner, and you are obligated to delivery it to the owner. In this case, the diamond will be a raw stone, and unless your eyes are trained to recognize the stone as a raw diamond, you may not be motivated to pick it up.
