Geodes are so much fun. It's like presents after you find them. 😁💞
Yes you’re right, it is like opening up a little treasure chest!
I swears his dog is not real! He's so cute!
4:40 Life is like a pile of geodes
Fun times at this location! Y’all for real check this place out if your ever in the area! The geodes are all over the wall! Just bring the right tools, even safety glasses if you new to digging this way. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
The camping couple just posted that they had their car broken into and everything stolen
Its one of my favorite places to mine geodes. And the Schefield mine out in keokuk isnt terrible either.
@@Bizz420 the area is pretty rough depending on where you go.
Shefflers mine* sorry
I’m in Illinois! Looking to take my 9 yr old daughter. I just wanted a color of some sort.
Hey dude love your content you've got me looking for crystals in my area. Whaaaaaaaaaaat! Keep doing what you're doing!
That’s so awesome, check and see if you have any local gem & minerals clubs, they can really help and have cool events 💎💎💎💎💯💥
@@TheCrystalCollector I like your fossil hunting videos
I want to start looking around in my area any advice on where to go? :)
4 months now any good finds?
@@TheCrystalCollector unfortunately Gem clubs only exist in the USA. I live in Europe which is not that rich in minerals
I didn’t even know that there were geodes in Illinois lol, not even that far from me either
You are the greatest crystal hunter EVER! I absolutely love your channel. You and Matrix bring me a lot of happiness.
Thanks so much 🙌💥💯💥🙌💎🙌💎💥🙌💎✨✨✨✨🔥🔥
I love to watch you. You always have a smile on your face. You can tell you’re enjoying yourself. Plus you have Matrix! I’m a dog lover too.
If you are at Keokuk, you are in Iowa. Since you are at Hamilton, you are in Illinois. if you can see across the Mississippi, you can see Keokuk. Where ever you are, nice geodes. And nice lil doggie, too Watching Matrix is part of the fun
Matrix is a smart dog he helps out every video
Love those geodes
I especially love the one that fell out of the wall and into your hand.

Im a stay at home dad and my 4yr old daughter and I have recently started rock/gem collecting after a mock mining session she had at a local farm. Her name is Rogue and she LOVES geodes and like her birthstone her favorite is amethyst! We are hooked on your channel and have found something we really love to do together! You keep digging, we'll keep watching! ✌#whaaaaaat😁💎
I'm SO jealous! I'm dying to dig for goodies!!
I'm in Oregon. I guess I'm gonna have to go on a road trip!!
Same here I'm in coos bay
Oregon has some great stuff, you shouldn't have to go far
@@cptchumknuckle True. I've collected lots of good stuff. And I have many pounds of obsidian. lol
We have some thundereggs, but not filled with crystal,,that I've found anyways.
I have a NEED to dig for and find the SPARKLY stuff!! LOL!
My next trip will be to Opal Butte. 👍
And here I am in London, UK…
Check out Sheffler's Geode Mine about 20 miles west across the river from Jacob's. Some really nice ones there and easier digging. Dig the two foot seem just above the dark shale.
Yes how many to go to that location, I’ve been hearing about that spot as well, thanks
Gosh! That’s a lot of geodes, hopefully I can come here one day!
The More You Know: I "like" every video before I even watch it! Thanks for such great Entertainment!
Lots of fun with those Geodes and everybody really having fun!! WHAT BETTER ANTIDOTE for our "times" than GOOD CLEAN FUN in nature with friends like the "camping couple"! Take care!
💜💎💯🤩🙌🙌
Best crystal youtuber!
Now you are in my territory! Love geodes!
Que grande eres hijo!!!!Pero el perrito es un puntazo 😄😄😍😍😍👏👏👏
Awesome geodes sir👍👍👍 and Thankk You for sharing the good stuffffff🙏🤠🥳
Thanks for watching 💎💯💯💥🙌💥
Your pup is so cute!!
Super video👏👏❤️😎
We had a ton of fun there with the kids this past summer also!
I'm from Indiana, sitting in Lagrange Georgia near the Hogg Mine which was and will continue to be a good time, THANK YOU 😁⛏️👍. That said, your clothes, the sunshine and greenery says this is an older video, LOL 😋 not that it matters as it's still cool 😎 and relevant for warmer weather planning, unless one likes being cold or just doesn't mind. I'm a cold ninny😂
Thank You for the education and joy you bring to us all. Blessings in all your hunts! ✨😇🙋🏻♀️
That’s so awesome that you’re able to get out and do some digging, nothing more fun than that! Glad you was able to check out the hog mine, it’s a cool place but the owner yeah that’s all I’ll say, LOL
Congratulations on the video and congratulations to the beautiful company you had together !!
Beautiful samples, keep it up my friend !!
Good continuation and always with attention !!
Thanks so much 💎✨💯💜💯🙌💎
Love your videos.
As always... an entertaining adventure but the star of the show, for me, is matrix! So stinkin adorable.
Sold me. I want to go this weekend!!!
I like Jacobs mine. I need to go back, thanks for such a great video.
Love geodes :)
Hey mate my son loves watching you dig for crystals. And finds Geodes amazing. As first appearance is a rock. He can't believe it. He is 4 year old. Cheers
Oh that’s so cool! Tell him I said whaaaaaaaaat!!! 💎💯💎
Twenty years ago this Fall I took a trip to Keokuk Iowa to look for geodes it was one of my best vacations. I brought home 40 or more in a one day hunt. Talked to local she showed me a geode in her back yard that must have been 36 inches across. She said her husband got it from their hillside. I tried to buy it but she wasn't selling it.
Brian you made some great finds. Thank you for sharing this one for sure.
Oh wow that’s a huge Geode, no wonder she didn’t sell it, LOL! That’s cool you brought home that many, it’s a fun place!
You broke my heart just like those geodes using that hammer 💔🔨😥😂 i love your video!💜💜💜💜💜
Are use a saw to cut them a lot of times, but sometimes getting the natural cut with a hammer is fun
I need to go here!
What a coincidence this video should post on the same day I got a big box of open yourself geodes in the mail for my family.
Enjoy opening them, I wish they could be found in the UK even though I'm not able to look for them I have family members who would love too. Love and hugs Mary-Ellen UK
Oh wow that’s so awesome, thank you so much for the support also! 🙌💯💎
That's an awesome place I was there a few years ago
I love the matrix 💓💓
Now I want to look for geodes!
seriously LOVE your stuff brother
wish i could tag along but im stuck in Australia BOOOO!
Breaks my heart to see you using hammers on these geodes. That little one that shattered in to a million pieces would have been gorgeous had it been cut on a rock saw. Still, love your content! Keep up the great work!
I had bought a legit Geode cracker, it came in the mail and the chain was all messed up and would not work, so I was anxious. We only chose to crack the thick ones, nothing lighter ones that we know were good
I find geodes fascinating Bryan, each one you open has a surprise inside just waiting to be discovered. I have seen some large parts of geodes with amethyst crystals inside at our sons shop in the past, his Dad helped deliver them as they are too heavy for one man.
The camping couple enjoy finding the geodes and crystals as much as you and Matrix, did he find any while he was scrabbling by the way lol? Enjoy your travelling and I look forward to seeing what you find in the next video, take care and stay safe please my friend God bless you both love and hugs to you and Matrix Mary-Ellen UK
Yes they are really like opening up a treasure chest each time, it’s really fun to open them up and see what might be inside!
I like the videos I catch myself looking at rocks everywhere I go
💎😂💎💎💎💎💯😂😆😆😂✨
@@TheCrystalCollector watching your videos has given me a rock hounding bug and it's so relaxing digging for cool rocks and crystals
Geods are my favorites. I love amber but lol its resin ..i joke.. I am a geod..my beauty is on the inside and is natural. Diamond Snh naw ..they arent pretty on the outside either if its real.lol. they can be made beautiful. But everyones only sees the outer beauty ..and thats what makes it beautiful.. Lol you ate so. Lucky awesone video you seem like so much fun!
I went here and spent a few hours mining there a few weeks ago. I definitely need to head back to the area during the Summer because the weather wasn’t ideal at the time. I did find a small one with a tiny dolomite cluster in it though! I’d like to go back some day.
Yeah we were there a couple of months ago, I’m hoping to get back when the weather warms also! It’s such a fun time!
Hello Brian and Matrix. Hello That Camping Couple!!
@9:38, put the bear down bud, go home, LOL
Love ur vids GALIXY SO CUUUUUUUUUUUTE
Not our usual type of video but really enjoyed that!!
Awesome 🙌💥👋💯💎
Matrix reminds me of my dog that died last year. Just subscribed and been watching tons of your videos.
I’m so sorry to hear about your pup, but thank you so much for watching and I appreciate the support
@@TheCrystalCollector you're welcome.
Matrix needs a bath!
Love it
Ese perrito se merece un¡¡¡ OSCAR!!!!
We walk up the creeks coming down from the bluffs around Alton IL. We find bowling ball and water melon size ones without having to dig for them. We never break them open we use a grinder with a diamond blade or a tile saw. Plus we find lots of Trilobite fossils.
Oh well, sounds like an epic location, that’s cool!
I would love to check that out! I’m not super familiar with the area as i’m located a bit south down in Kansas city, but i’m planning on making a trip in the spring for some rockhounding. Any tips for the Alton area?
@@kaydog2008 Do you know if most are public land? I’ve been doing some researching since seeing your comment but it’s hard to tell which areas are gonna be off limits or inaccessible. Thank you so much again for the tips!
@@tabbyelder As far as I know if a fence doesn't run across the creek bed we can follow it up. Sometimes you will find it but it's a matter of asking the land owner who is happy to let you rock hund.
@@kaydog2008 I figured. Thanks again! Really appreciate it.
Man. Oklahoma only has rose rock and selenite. (Both in the dusty top corner and not very interesting.) Wish we had something better to find around here! XD
I would've loved too of met ya'll today, but i was at work. I don't live that far away from jacobs geode mine. If your ever back up here again let me know I'd like too met ya and have a fun day diggin.
Hopefully getting back up there soon, this was a couple of months ago , just now getting it edited
i want to go now!!
Me too
Instead of trying to crack the small/tiny/solid ones, why not just sand down the outide until you get to the crystals on the inside? Then take that sanded and polished piece and make jewelry. You could even shape/carve them with a dremel. Just a thought.
That is a really TOTALLY CREATIVE idea!! It would be fun to try!!
@@kavannahlight5378 I think people would love it. You could even dye some of the crystals different colors. Especially if the crystals are carved. I've done it with other stones and they turned out AMAZING!!! Couldn't keep them in stock.
@@lizmbrad Please share your store, if you feel it's appropriate. I would truly love to see your creative artistry! Your creative energy "vibes" are off the charts! Thank you!
@@kavannahlight5378 thank you for the compliment... I'm actually in the process of starting one up. I have a lot of my work ready to go. Just a few things to line up and I'll be off and running. I'm assuming you create as well? I would love to see your work. Is there a way to do so?
@@lizmbrad I hope we 'run into each other' again once your shop opens and I can get a peek. I have made my own jewelry, but these days I mostly purchase. I love stones, bottom line!! I get so much true joy from their beauty, energy, and healing powers! It began very early in life and has grown!! Great luck on the new shop!!
I Am Totally Going To Get Some Geodes
I made a right on the creek and walked about .5 down and found the mother load of geodes. It was not easy bringing them back to the car.
Wow, I live in Chicago and it’s only two hours away!!
I wanna go soooooooo bad
😌❤😌❤😌❤
They do a Geode Fest every year, check it out
@@TheCrystalCollector 🥰
I heard the camping couple got robbed , Katydid put up a link for them on her channel ; ) sorry to hear about it and hope they keep going !
Yes, they found two of the robbers, got some clothes back but not everything yet. Cops are very involved with it so that’s good. Thanks foe the support 💯💎
Matrix is such a cutie. Love him
I really want to go geode hunting
Niceeeeeeeeee
And I came in like a geode ball!
All I wanted was to shine and all!
But u gotta bre a a ak me!
3 hours from me, I want to go!
I gotta make a drive up north soon! I wanna get one of those pipe cutters to split em!
Yes it’s fun!!!!!!! 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎✨💯💯💯✨✨💯✨✨✨
Cara maravilhoso. Queria uma dessas. No Brasil é mais difícil de encontrar. Parabens.
Need to check for Fluorescent.
That’s crazy! What makes the geodes form in that area?
Geodes!
Hello. Guys I would like to learn more about geology - is there any good book providing information about finding minerals crystals etc?
I wish I could find those where I live. I'm in northern georgia and I've only ever found a quartz vein that had some really beautiful specimens, but no geodes
Northern Georgia Quartz can turn into crystals, always keep looking for sure. I’ve never heard of Geode‘s forming in the southeast though, only hydrothermal tight pockets that form Crystal
What kind of dog is matrix? I love him 🐶
Hey buddy love the channel hope your sunday rocks ..i was wondering can u find these in ohio do you know of any mining for gems in ohio
hey hows your guys day today and Do you ever go to any Wisconsin's mines
Was that the old Noodles geode role there at 117?he's the master
Eastern Washington Naches area on the east side of Mt. Rainier why 410 ya can find Geodes
East Tennessee has them in creeks and branches. Ask owners first
My Daughter and I have been getting Geodes out the Ying yang, running out of places to put them...do you recommend putting them outside as Decoration? I think they would get dirty quickly in a garden where I would want them. We LOVE THE SURPRISE OF OPENING THEM! Wish I found more variety, they've all been the same except 3 or 4 we've gotten were truly unique.
Yes they could go in the garden, the rain will not hurt them, if anything they could get a little moldy after a while and you can hit them with a pressure washer in it immediately will come right off
I like to think of geodes as fossilized dinosaur eggs. 😂
Definitely wanting to check this spot out, but am having troubles finding it on the map, I see the signs on google earth, is that the right spot still?
Can you possibly tell me where or who to look for, for information about a geode I found? It was found in western Kentucky. When we broke it open, it had what appears to be two flower buds and a leaf inside. They are dry. There was a tiny hole in the geode but absolutely not big enough to have the plant matter shoved into it. I don't want to give it up, it was a really neat thing to find. I would like to find someone who can help me understand it though!
Thank you so much!
Crystal
U crack these open with ease 😊 Is there a trick u can share? Gorgeous 🤗
☺️🤗
