Day 349: I found a pretty good sized cache of diamonds today!<\/p>\n
It was under a vein of coal. I almost didn’t dig out the coal but then I thought I still don’t know whether the seasons here eventually change and it would not be a good idea to get myself into a situation where I couldn’t remember which of the eight bazillion abandoned dig sites I left it in.<\/p>\n
So I dug it out, and underneath was a huge (for diamond) cache of diamond ore stuff. (It’s hammer-able which is very odd so I hesitate to call it diamond just like canned cheese food needs that “food” label at the end to remind you that it’s edible.)<\/p>\n
