- What’s up everyone! This was a really fun adventure! Keeping in fashion with the channel, we’re doing some geode collecting, but this time it’s in my home state of Illinois! Way out west near the borders off Illinois, Iowa and Missouri at an awesome place called Jacob’s Geode Mine! We’re hunting the beautiful Keokuk geodes! ( this term is used to specify geodes from the region, not just geodes from that town) Given this was my first visit, this vlog was all about learning the terrain and what to looks for and bring with for an efficient day of geode mining and collecting!
Jacob’s Geode Mine is located at 823 E Co Rd 1220, Hamilton, Illinois 62341. There is a fee of $25.00 per bucket of geodes collected, and there are tools available to rent, but there are limited supplies!!
GIVEN THAT THIS IS A PAY PER BUCKET SITE, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPEN GEODES ON SITE.
Here’s Mindat’s information on the site!

Here’s a list of the equipment and tools I recommend for an effective day of geode collecting at Jacob’s!
-WATER
-Snacks
-Rock Hammer (Pick or Chisel ended)
-Sledge (2-3 pounds)
-Chisel (Guarded is best)
-Buckets
-Something to sit on (milk crate/bucket)
-Pickaxe (single steel forged is best)
-Geode collecting friends!
Loved this video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I recently went here, it was really fun there’s so many geodes there
Was just out there last week. Wish I would’ve watched this first so I would have known the how to dig. Hope to get back soon. Also found a few in a creek bed in north east Missouri. Thanks for the video.
Good show! Thanks for taking us along!
Sweet vid m8! Great look at the mine. We will be there this weekend! Cheers!
Have fun!! When you walk into the mine you’ll see a big red truck parked there, go to the left of that! And you want that dark grey layer of clay! That’s where the enhydro geodes are 🤘🏻🔥
@@GeodeCrackerCollector will do, watching part 2 now of the Indiana Geode collecting Feb 2021. Good stuff m8. Check out our vids and maybe we do a vid together one day. Planning on Mark Twain National Forest dispersed camping in July 😁😎
How fun! Hard work, but awesome!
Great video Tyler. We watched it with Lil Ollie ( grandson) and told him you were a friend, he was impressed. 😎 Everything we watched after that he ask "is that your friend" lol He thinks we know all the movie stars now 😆😆😆
