You know something, it sounds true. A driller back then would recognize a diamond. I know guys who set bits themselves.

Quite a few "experts" here would doubt it saying that the diamonds
are always in deep eroded kimberlites but I do have a book that shows they were found on the surface in the past by geologists who dutifully noted their chemistry but called them everything in the world but kimberlite! (Lac de Gras was one, Camsell was another)

I used to work for Norblanda myself. Big company in a hurry. You could follow their lonesome trail and find quite a few diamonds. But all you run into are people who tell you they couldn't be wrong and they have already looked.
