It all depends on the location. Coal is held between layers of rock, in bands. Over the millions of years these bands can get bent and twisted by the movement of the earths crust.

In some places the seam of coal is exposed on the surface, all you have to do is pick it up.

Most places where this is possible, have already been used by people in the area.

Early coal mining underground, was probably due to following a surface seam of coal as it dipped below the surface.

Open seams of coal also happen underwater and it is possible to dredge it up.
