Kentucky Geode Hunting
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- I was going through my iCloud on my phone and found a lot of videos from when I lived in Kentucky in 2019. So I put together a couple clips from one of my Geode locations from road cuts I accidentally found while looking for river access points to find river geodes and fossils. All the fossils found from this area are from the Mississippian Period which range from 358.9 to 346.7 million years old.
If you live in a area where you can find fossils I highly recommend you downloading the free geology app called “RockD”. It’s a app that has pin point geological map you can help determine from what era your fossils are from and all the info about it with a lot more.
If your interested in checking out a cool geotized brachiopod I found that AgateDad won along time ago, he ended up cutting it open. Here is the link to his video: • CRYSTALS Found Inside ...

A while back AgateDad won one of my giveaways that had a Geotized Brachiopod that he cut open. Want to check it out? Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/ChFcYTgagfI/видео.html
Is there a way I can send you a couple pictures of a geode I found years ago? I almost broke it open but it was so cool looking that I stopped myself. I can't find one even close to it as far as looks. Thank you.
@@urblotasunkynewulf615 definitely send some photos to my email
rock_hounding_adventures@yahoo.com
@@RockHoundingAdventures Sweet thank you.
@@RockHoundingAdventures I sent three to you yesterday.
What a great road cut. We like Kentucky. Perfect fossil, and all the geode bits wete beautiful. I especially liked the tri color one. Thanks for sharing one of your good memories with us It made it special. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒
I like Kentucky for that same reason. I hope to be able to revisit this spot in the future and re film it with better quality. I did find a beautiful geotized brachiopod from here that AgateDad cut open. If your interested in seeing that I pinned a comment with the video link. 🤘Safe Travels
@@RockHoundingAdventures how do you find that?
Oh ah sparkles! I love geodes, you just never really know what is inside, so that is a huge YES PLEASE to a cutting video! Great finds. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure Kurt.
I will do, and found more video clips from here I forgot to include so I will do that in the cutting video. Check out AgateDads video cutting open a Geotized Brachiopod I found from here.

Hard to believe how white and full of sparkles they are on the inside. That always amazes me. Thanks Kurt.
Oh I know, it was a full surprise to find this spot accidentally. 😁🤘
Thanks for refreshing your memories for us! Those were some gorgeous geodes, and the fossil was so, so sweet! Officials in Indiana kinda frown on road cut rockers, so KY seems to be more hospitable. Hope you can make it back out east soon!
Yeah come to Kentucky! We will let you pick our geodes while we prepare you the best home cooked meal you’ve ever had! You can even stay the night at our home so you can skip the hotel fees! All the while we will be fixing the best cake for dessert that could never compare to any bakery around! Cheers, Owensboro, Ky 💜💙💕
Lovely sparkly bits. nice hunt. Luv the pink dolomite in the quartz geode so pretty. Keep rockin
Awesome finds!! Were those geodes forming in the sedimentary rock? Usually we only find them in the volcanics around here!! Thanks for sharing some of your old clips with us😁
Thanks man, the geodes were forming in shale beds. Thanks for watching bro
Yep all the Midwest geodes form in limestone and shale. I’ve even found a few that are fossil replacement geodes.
This was a cool experience, seeing before the channel footage. Really cool geodes in that road cut, how awesome it that location. Well done out there thanks for sharing your hard work and passion! Thanks for the RockD app!
I’m glad you enjoyed it bro, I’ll be making a cutting video with a couple of these geodes. Make sure to check out the video I pinned 📌 of the Geotized Brachiopod AgateDad won from one of my giveaways. This was my favorite geode hunting spot and hope to re-visit it in the future.
Amazing video my friend!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks bro
Kentucky has some of the best road cuts! I've been down there twice already this year. Have you been to the giant roadcut near Maysville? That one is my favorite. Great finds!
Would really appreciate any locations on creeks I can go to and road cuts in Nelson county. I tried yesterday but I don’t know how to actually hunt locations because I’m from Louisiana and we don’t have this. I been waiting 4 years for this. I travel a lot but never able to explore locations
@@lynnsboone222 I'm not super familiar with Nelson County, but for road cuts, I usually stop along state routes where the rocks are exposed with places that look safe to pull off on the shoulder. For creeks, public fishing access spots might be a good start. Good luck!
Beautiful dolomite,quartz, and calcite Geodes! Cool fossil too. I didn’t know the base rock was shale, I thought it was limestone. Cool video.
Those were beautiful!😊❤️
Thank you Julie
Good haul. I would love to see some geodes cut.
Of course we would love to see you cut what you have left of those! Those were really killer geodes and fossils! Ok, it may not have been the best camera quality, but it really was worthy quality and some great finds! Thanks for sharing your old .memories with us. Before your youtube days! You always had it in you! Thanks for sharing with us!
I will have to do that, I found a few more clips I forgot to include so I will add those in the cutting video. I hope to revisit this spot in the future.
Check out the pinned comment with video link to AgateDad cutting open a geotized brachiopod I found here.
@@RockHoundingAdventures I will Thanks!
Wow i watched the cutting video of that brachiopod! It was amazing! It was so full of crystals and sparkles! That really needs a polishing video too! Thanks Kurt!
Dude! How did I miss this? If you ever come back through the Midwest most definitely hit me up buddy! I’m hoping to get out to Indiana and if you’re going back to Kentucky I’ve learned Estil (I think I’m spelling it wrong) county is the spot for the awesome Kentucky agates. I’d love to check that out sometime!
.Geodes are beautiful. I would like to identify this type of rocks. Although I mostly hunt arrowheads in the desert, I do occasionally go where there are lots of rocks. Greetings and blessings to my friend.
Those are awesome great video do the glow in black light
Will do thanks for the idea
Kentucky has some of the best geodes. So fortunate to live in this state. Is there any particular spots you'd recommend? I usually go near Green River Lake and Lake Cumberland.
I definitely agree but also agates. I did some hunting over in the camping ground over in Elk Horn near Lake Cumberland.. there is a creek bed back behind the camp spots first come first serve spots and I found lots of Crinoid segments that were more then likely used as native jewelry pieces, lots of golf ball size and smaller geodes and agate nodules. I loved camping there. Shoot me a email and I’ll give you some other spots to check out. Rock_hounding_adventures@yahoo.com
Rock on 🤘
And nice I’m subber #100 congrats at hitting 100. Don’t forget about your custom url name you just unlocked
@@RockHoundingAdventures My main spot I usually go to is near Elk Horn, it’s a campground called Wilson Creek. Was able to fill a bucket with crinoid segments in a couple hours. Thank you so much for subbing!! I’ll shoot you an email soon, I’m eager to hear about some other spots!
Cool video. Wish i knew where this roadcut is
Thanks. I’m keeping this location private only. If you need help finding places to go? What part of KY are you in?
@RockHoundingAdventures oh I wasn't asking for the location, just stating, and I'm in Breckenridge County
We currently live near etown and headed out rockhounding for Easter (nature's Easter eggs). Any clues abouts where you were? We have had some luck towards bardstown and in radcliff
In Radcliff along joe prathnrr hwy you can find gypsum geodesic and fossils in those road cuts. The spot in this video is hours away and a secret spot. But if you head south most geodes are found in river beds and road Cuts along the Tennessee Kentucky border.
Check out Dan's channel called Created Rocks with Dan The Rock Man.
He is in ETown. I gave him a fun spot in Louisville in Pope Lick Park where you can find a bunch of cool fossil brachiopods and fossil coral in a river there. Here is that location: ruclips.net/video/DCWHTELVJTM/видео.html He did a video hunting the gypsum geodes. Around Lake Nolan at some of the parks you can find some cool fossils at. There is also a free camp ground in Elk Horn where you can find small geodes/agate Nodules and crinoids in the creek bed along the camp sites.
Good luck hope yall have fun
That blue hue. Is celestine.
Awesome thanks for the correction. I couldn’t remember the proper term.
So cool!!! Would love to find a geode!!! Ummm sir, did a random rock fall out of the sky and hit you in the head??? 😂
Wish I knew where this spot is
I’m in Nelson county in bardstown kentucky I tried finding locations to geodes/rock hound in creeks/ road cuts and I couldn’t. I’m from Louisiana and been dreaming of this for 4 years. Is there anything place I can go in this area I would really appreciate the help
Watch out for dogman.
Who dat lol 😂 ?
