Unless on the very off chance two veins spawn together maybe one of 6, and the other of 5?
Iunno seems a bit far fetched to me but.
Believe me or not I was on my friends SMP server, and I was breaking the most important rule of Minecraft never dig straight down but I did anyway (with my wooden pick Axe) landed right on top of 3 diamonds. He probably thought I was x-raying aha.
Yeah its just two diamond veins next to each other. My most recent world I went down and found 9 diamonds in a pocket in the first branch of my mine. Unfortunately, I've dug two other branches since that and found zero diamonds, but the law of averages say my next branches will be loaded! *crosses fingers*
I pretty much always find diamonds the first dig session. Usually within 30 minutes of digging.
That is why I make the first mining trip. Usually it is the first night...
I only take the first 5 though, then return later with fortune 3 to get the rest.
With the first 5, make a diamon pick, mine some obsidian, make enchanting table and nether portal.
My OCD says no diamond should be mined unless it is with a fortune 3 pick. Anything else is wastefull, so i start farming xp and enchanting till I get fortune 3
Technically I should search villages or cave chests for the first diamonds/obsidian and mine every block with fortune 3, but that takes way longer than just mining the first 5.
I was playing on a server and one of the first things (except coal) I found was diamond. I couldn't mine it either because I didn't have iron. I covered it up and will mine it out someday.
I was playing once and my first trip I was branch mining. My first branch held a six block and a 3 block vein, and my second branch had a 4 block vein in it Sadly, I've made about 5 other branches in that mine with no more sucess

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
When I finally figured out how to do it, it was probably like my 3rd or 2nd cause I camped down at the mine 'till I found diamond haha.
