Do this and you will be swiming in ore.
Get about two 64's of logs and convert them to sticks. Make a H with all the sticks you get, that should be well over 30 ladders. With your ladders dig a 2x1 hole straight down. If you dig this way, in the event you find a natural cave you want fall in it as long as you aren't digging under your feet like a dumbass. Dig all the way down until you hit bedrock. Once at bedrock go up about 8-12 blocks up and set up base.
The reason you dig in that level is because that's where diamond spawns frequently and all other ores are easiy obtainable as well.
