Dugway Geode Beds Utah : A Quick Stop And Search For Geodes
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
- This was my first stop on my way west, Dugway Geode Beds in Utah. I'm not much of a rock man unless they are rocks that have been shaped by man, but I wanted to scope out the geode diggings for my wife and the next time she gets out that way with me again. I had fun but didn't hang around for long.
About Aquachigger:
I enjoy metal detecting for historical items like gold coins, relics, silver coins, and other buried treasures. I also metal detect for gold and silver nuggets and even meteorites. I like to make videos that promote my choice of lifestyle that includes outdoor adventure,
metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed by most people who are not familiar with outdoor adventures and nature. I keep my TH-cam "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
BTW, you can also catch me here, / chiggsarmy ,but I may get a little edgier there. FB isn't a place for kids anyway...lol.

Thanks for watching…. The Chigg
Hi CHIGG you always make my day 💟💟
We love geodes
You were so close to where I live!
My brother-in-law has found some amazing stuff out at Dugway.
I think maybe a give away of geodes would be cool
Hope your trip cleared your mind of all the bad things that have been going on the past few months. Thank you for the adventures you share with us.
Ive been a follower for a long time. We don’t have fun civil war stuff here in Utah, but it’s awesome to see you doing a video in my backyard!
Geodes or not, it's always good spending some time with you, Chigg.
Wow i haven’t seen ur channel in years! Great to find you again
Thanks for taking us on another great adventure 👍🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it
@@aquachigger If you want tons of Geodes go to Keokuk, Iowa
You have such a geologically interesting country chigg. I wish the UK had even a quarter of the gems, metals or landscape variety you have over the pond
Enjoyed watching good finds
I'm out going to the gas station and had a good view of the stadium and I found some shade and being out felt good I stopped where a building front that's a place to sit and I end up looking at a bunch of rocks are landscaping their weeds 😂
I end up here after finding some worth looking into. Looks like ya had fun, my hounding is limited to the city around me so yeah it's better than no rock in sight😂❤
I have been there many times, the big hole is where a large excavator has been digging, I picked up one that was 3ft long and 9 inches in diameter and had it cut, it was nice. The claim owner told me to take all he pushed aside with the excavator.
I used to live not far from there about 10 years ago. Moved a couple times since but still have my geodes uncut and traveling with me LOL.
Fun place to see, you were real close to topaz mountain where you dig topaz and beryl crystals, and also the fossil beds are there too. Hope you came out with some good ones for your wife. Thanks, Clinton
Awesome video Chigg!
I must confess, I love rocks too!!
Lots of geodes in Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, along the Mississippi--The pretty ones. I used to dig with my grandparents in the 60's for them along local creek beds. Have a big collection in my garden now. Hubs and I drove from Illinois to California in June on Highway 70 to visit family. Long damn trip. Rained all through Colorado and ran into a mudslide, detoured on a one lane cattle path. Scary as hell. But we certainly do live in a beautiful country. Enjoyed your videos.
Interesting spot. I've been a rock hound from age seven or so. Fossils are on the menu too. Good luck. ✌
Look like a really cool place.
Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE see ya on the next
Looks like a good way to get rid of some aggression. Fun none the less, never know what ya might find.
"Dirty hands are happy hands" 👍
i dont blame your lady liking rocks i do to theres so many pretty ones out there every color i got a geo shaped just like a snowman ill never bust it open its cute never seen another one like it yet
I’m going to have to put this on my bucket list. I love geodes. Awesome video!
Took 100 million years for Chig come by and make a video. It was worth the wait.
Welcome back Chigg
Thanks Chigg for the adventure
Dugway area was part of the pony express trail, I got to dig there in 1975, Topaz mountain is near you. Plus the trilobite beds near Delta.
Chigg be safe out there and GOD BLESS y’all buddy Amen 🙏
Chigg this was so cool to see. I know you’re not into rocks but I’ve been into your adventures from before i ever filmed rocks. So it was just rad to see you checkin out some geodes. Cheers mate!
Finally,awesome
Thanks man.
I have alot of geodes from there, I live fairly near there. Wish I was there to meet ya!
New chigg video it’s a good day 😎
Are used to work at the Detroit salt mine !! They had some huge geodes from the salt mine they had on display in the office with it was broke open and rainbow full of different colors and you can see the crystals inside I’m talking these things was bigger than basketballs !!
I love geodes!
Wow! Cool, I live about 20 minutes away from there in Magna Utah.
Hello from Australia Chigg,this video was fantastic,l absolutely love how you stopped and dug around for Geodds,I have never seen them but l could have watched you digging them up and cracking them open for hours,l was disappointed you stopped so quick,can you please take Lyndsay there and do a big video in it please? I can't wait to see it,thank you for all your videos Chigg,I'm your number one Aussie fan,⛏️⛏️⛏️xx😊
idk why nobody has mentioned this, but the fact you arent wearing safety glasses is giving me mad anxiety with each strike of that tool.
Please, throw 'em on at LEAST for the hammering.. :)
Would enjoy seeing more of this content too!
Thanks for the videos!
I enjoy the river bullet hunts, however, showing us your other talents and interests is a breath of fresh air. Beautiful vid adventure!
Thanks Chigg
Tell Lindsey - girls rock- hounding trip !!! Come through Kansas ( I am not too far from Salina ) - and ready to hunt Geodes !!
A very interesting and different video 👍
Hauser Geode Beds in the eastern Mojave Desert, discovered in 1937. I have a 9 inch diameter partially hollow geode from there. A friend with a large rock saw cut in half for me.
Yes! Another desert adventure!
Yes Love ya CHIGG 😁😁😁💟
Very nice area have a great adventure
I have found some good geodes in Missouri; the Mark Twayne Cave ;
Forest area in a creek close to river
When you plan on going back to the Giddy Cave/Sinkhole!!! Very excited to see what going on down there!
You should go to Topaz Mountain in Utah one of these times. Utah is my old stomping grounds.
Keokuk Iowa geodes for days!
You're in Utah and didn't do a meet up?!?! Dang it? My Gramma is a duck genius, she could take you to some awesome spots if you'd like
I was told when you are looking at Geode you want to find ones that are light. Lighter than what a rock that size. That means they are hollow and more than likely pretty on the inside.
Or give them a shake and see if you can hear liquid inside them 👍
New Check List
1) Dig for Geodes 'check'
2) Stop at roadside Rock Shop buy a pretty Geode 'check'
3) Plan Trip to Tucson with Lindsey 'To Do'
2022 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show February 10th-13th 2022
Yep
Awesome !!!!
I love those Geodes also, pretty neat rocks ( ;
My new favorite place on TH-cam…. Louisiana boy…. Where I live is called “ The end of the world “ which is the mouth of the Mississippi River….
In Oregon they call them "Thunder Eggs"
I remember watching Gold Fever and Tom Massie thought that geodes and geocaching were the same thing. The expert he was talking to just nodded and smiled. I just thought it was funny since he's such a mining expert.. the original Gold King!
Chigg I have a marble made from a Dugway geode from Utah. Also I have made over thirty Red Horn Coral marbles from the Utah mountains. Its my favorite marble making material.
Chigg, on the way back home stop in at Brown County Indiana, some of the best geodes in the country.
Might need to use some eye protection there Chigg stay safe thanks for sharing
THANK YOU... DES CREAN,, BELFAST .. IRELAND
Welcome to Utah! I love this place. Not many relics but lots of other awesome items.
That pretty much describes the entirety of Australia lol
you should try topaz mountain in Utah and glass butte in Oregon
Love me some geods. I have so many it's crazy, I even sliced them down and made a bathroom boarder with them with tiny LED lights behind them to light up. Amazing , thanks Chigg for the adventure.
MeMiner territory, keep expecting one of his dogs in the video. Have fun.
Hauser has some cool stuff too....
7:05 Sounds like he is talking about pokemon cards👍
I have been out there a few times. The ones you were pounding are obsidian. They are mixed in with the geodes. Look for smaller ones, smaller than the size of your fist. While your in the area be sure to detect along the pony express trail and hit up topaz mountain to get yourself some topaz!
Hope you enjoyed Utah, my home state. Did you make it to the Kennecott Copper Mine. It’s one of the few man made things you can see from space. There’s some great ghost towns, and the Obsidian beds near Delta, UT where you can collect obsidian the same as Native Americans did in the past.
You should take Lindsey some home to bust open.Happy wife happy life.
I did. From another site coming up soon.
Chigg sees a dozen tourists digging in a tailings pile and decides to go off on his own. Shocking.
" Chigg mad ! Chigg smash ! " 🤣
Indiana has several places to hunt geodes you could stop at on the way home. I found some nice ones on a backpacking trip a couple of years ago.
Found some real beauties in Holbrook, AZ.
Chigg to crack open Geode's neatly in two the Pro's use cast iron pipe cutters / soil pipe cutters.
I don't think any that I found was pipe cutter worty.
@@aquachigger there's always next time. 🤞😉
A lot of people go out there and get flat tires. I’ve known about a group who got two flat tires while out there.
Praise the lord. We have new videos to watch!!!
If the misses likes geods the keokuk are really nice up where Illinois, Iowa and Missouri meet just fyi Arkansas has the dimond mine and lots of crystal mines
Best place for geodes is Oregon. Beautiful area. Check out Peterson’s geodes place. Bend Oregon just check out geodes Oregon. You’ll find it. Thank You for all the interesting places you travel to.
I have a geode that i got from my grandpa 40 year's ago, and he had it for 40 year's, so over 80 year's it has not been cracked open, and it is perfectly round and smooth. My grandpa collected antiques, coins, and indian artifacts. He collected a lot of stuff, and also restored antique clocks, many were very rare. He told me the name of this thing i have, can't remember the other name for it. I had two, but I gave one away, don't know if he ever opened it. I would like to give it to your wife. I am nearly 51, no kid's, and it would be nice for someone to enjoy it. I would have it cut open, because it will probably be a nice item, or not open it like I did, and display it. let me know if you read this. I don't use any other social media. The new meta, or mem tav, means death, so no facebook for sure.God bless.
Been there: Desert phase of Ranger School 1989 - but didn't get any geod's..lol
We find geode here in southern az.
Quick question Chigg. Are you wearing Eye-pro??
Wish you did more rockhounding videos. Maybe if your wife is doing that you could throw in a couple pics of her finds where you are detecting.
Every time I hear about geodes I think about the pokemon "geodud", It took me a while to realize the name is an actual reference to the rock.
Just saw a video of you feuding over a property line with your neighbor living in a Trailer across the street with the Police on the scene....What's up with that ??
wish i had known you were in Utah I live near there.
I want to do this so bad but here in MD I don't think we have that kinda thing here?
Wish I could explore with this guy
Your breathing sounded rather laboured. Are you high up in altitude there?
arrowheads/grinding stones etc can be found in area
1st!
Jigg dont see you use safety classes on try to beak open them geos 😀
Those geodes look like they would be much nicer if cut open with a saw
I would have used the "tail" of your rock hammer to "score" the rocks that you were trying to split. But I am sure that you KNEW that!
Betcha MeMiner would like this place...
Hummmm😊👍👍
Thunder eggs!
😁👍🏽
How were the roads, 4x4 required?
Fiona is adorable
