No luck, and me too re: collecting from two deep mines. Still haven't got the burning ember either and I've gone to the desert to many times to count! When I got the golden fleece so quickly I thought luck was on my side, but since then....nothing! Oh well, I am sure it will come eventually!!! (although I've been saying that about the alicorn parts too, and that's been six months, but I know others have waited even longer than that).
