What was the best mining experience you've ever had in Minecraft?
Mine was today, when I dug a staircase down in my mine and found a HUGE cave system. There were tons of skeletons, creepers, and spiders around, but finally I defeated all of them and saw..... drumroll..... a huge room with 3 veins of redstone, 14 gold, about 60 lapis lazuli chunks, 60 redstone dust, 35 iron, and 6 diamonds in one vein. It was completely awesome. :smile.gif:
What was your luckiest mining experience ever? Tell me!
Between 10 and 16 I've found MULTIPLE caves with ore up the wazoo. I think it could've been an underground ravine cross cut with a mine shaft. 30 diamonds from exploring the entirety of it.
Anyone that doesn't know, one torch can direct you home. Place it on the left, come home looking for it on the right. Destroy any chunk spawned torches.
was mining. nightmare mod caused an army of monsters to storm my castle while was mining, a single creeper survived my defenders and traps, came down and exploded. launched me into an enormous spherical cavern, with more ore than smoothstone. mined it all, so much that i had to use some of the ore to build a tower back to the hole the creeper made. if it hadn't blown up, i would've missed it. i love creepers. <3
Awesome! What ores were in there? Do you have any screenshots?
Finding the cave in my single, only issue to getting lost. Currently given me 6 stacks of Iron (and only use Iron tools), 10 Diamond, 15 stacks of Coal, and 1 stack of Lapis. Don't mine Redstone anymore due to the overabundance in my 1.7.3 house.
Actually, my best spelunk was on my 2nd day! aah, May 29, 2011 went like this:

HUUUUUUGGGEEEE CAVE.-2 hrs to explore, had to just randomly dig up to get out!

Once, when I was mining, I mined into a dungeon. It was only a zombie dungeon, with 3 CREEPERS IN IT! All three exploded and killed me. After I went back and got my stuff, looted the chests, and stopped the spawner, I noticed a light coming from a hole in the wall. I mined in to a abandoned mineshaft, an abandoned mineshaft filled with DIAMONDS! I mined a total of 17 diamonds out of that one mineshaft. I now have this one word of wisdom, "Creepers, let em' explode and you might find something cool."

Ah, another creeper story! It seems that while they are annoying, many people find stuff because of them.

I'd love to see that.

FREAKING. EPIC.
(I'm not even finished digging it in this picture, but it's the most up to date one I have)
I found stacks of Iron while mining it out. There also used to be a dungeon somwhere around the middle left, I had to get rid of it though.
