Finding your first few chunks of coal in a new game is usually the hardest. A lot of times you can find it easily if you can get around mountains with sharp faces. A lot of the time those will have coal sticking right out of the side. Either that or you just need to go deeper, but you can only go so deep before needing light, and that's why finding your first bit of coal is the hardest. Once you've got some, you can go way deeper, find more, so on...

And yeah, you'll get creepers and stuff in your mine if you don't put a door and a little hut over it (like my first picture in the previous post).
