Mining also began promptly with peacetime. Sylvaticus Brannan found a store of diamonds so large it took 137 days for the bunnies to move them all to safety. Diamonds became a standard of value in Havenburrow, and there was a long, prosperous boom period from 1865 to 1928.
Some say the diamonds are still hidden down there, somewhere deep beneath Earth’s crust in a steel vault the rats cast to “protect” them. But no one knows exactly where, and many treasure hunters have tried and failed to find the lost diamond stash of Havenburrow.
