An Indian father's life has been transformed after he found a diamond worth £60,000 while working his land. Lakhan Yadav, 45, came across the 14.98-carat rock while digging on land he began renting last month in Madhya Pradesh. Yadav nearly mistook the precious gem for a pebble, but after rubbing the dirt off it he noticed that it shone differently. Yadav said he would put the money towards ensuring his children get a good education rather than 'anything big'. Yadav said he won't stop there and intends to continue to look for diamonds on the patch of land.
