Ken comes to the conclusion that this seemingly impossible task might be\u003cbr\u003edone if he could us his geological training to locate a deposit that might have a big payoff over a short timeframe. It occurs to him that two teenagers who travel\u003cbr\u003eto Eastern Canada for their summer vacation might have fun while providing inexpensive manpower for a search aimed at discovering a source of natural\u003cbr\u003ecolored diamonds. Ken concludes that sand samples from the shores of streams and lakes could provide the necessary clues as to the location of valuable deposits.\u003cbr\u003eWhile getting started, Ken recalls the many seemingly impossible events that occurred that are part of our nation’s history.
