Hunting for diamonds sounds more glamorous than it really is. Imagine trudging through a muddy field while the hot sun beats down with your back and neck bent to catch a glimpse of a tiny diamond in the mud. Diane gives up hope after a few hours but Jon gives it his best shot until the mine shuts at 6pm. We leave with just a handful of quartz and jasper.
