When I got my first diamonds (a vein of 17), I started changing to third person, looking up my iron leggings, and jumping. I did this for about two and a half minutes, but then I realized that I didn't know how to use diamonds. I tried every impossible combination (diamond bucket, diamond minecart, diamond crafting table, diamond chest, diamond arrow etc), but unfortunately failed. When I finally learned how to make a diamond pickaxe, I was very pleased with myself. I used it only for obsidian, and cool ores, such as diamonds, emeralds, redstone, gold, and lapis lazuli. About half an hour later, I first learned how to use lava buckets, and that was the end of my leftover 14 diamonds...
It's funny. I started mining (around Y 11-12) and came across a vein of 7 diamonds clustered together! I had a really good night. 3 emeralds, 30 Lapis Lazuli, 12 gold, tons of coal, redstone and iron. Wow. I was only mining for about an hour. Haven't done anything with the diamonds yet (sword? armor?). I still have my diamond pick axe from my previous find.
Made pick, fell in lava, found more diamonds, fell in lava. You'd think the trend would have stopped. But every time I fall in lava I have at least something diamond in my inventory.
I found a deep cave and just kept following it, before I knew what I was doing. I tried to mine it with a stone pick and realized I couldn't so I just walked away. oops.

At the time, I wanted to experiment if lava acts like a furnace (because I have never died, or gotten items burned in Lava) I found 5 diamonds and was like "I wonder if you can smelt diamonds!" So I just threw them in the lava! When I saw the burning animation on it, I jumped into the lava to try and save it. Bad idea, because I died with ALL of my stuff.
At the time, I wasn't in any real need of them; because, I wasn't trying to mine for Redstone and other stuff like that.
Also, my First Diamond Find yielded like 1 or 2 Diamonds; which, Diamonds are basically useless in that quantity; and, I wasn't finding any more Diamonds.
I got scared at first cos they were over lava, then i got hyper because i thought DIAMONDS!!, mined them then ran back to base b4 i got blown up.

That was like in Version 1.5.2 and Demo 1.6.2.

But I was mining it with like a stone pickaxe so it kind failed, and I didn't realize till I wasted like 3 of them.
