    That is some hard work but once you start finding them you have a real treasure! I saw that Gypsy had the right idea of getting in the shade in a dug out spot, the ground was cooler for her too! She is a genius!

      There's a little crusty top to the dirt here. After that the digging is super easy. I just don't think that digging in the loose dirt is the best way to find good material. I need to find the layer that has the geodes, but I need that layer to be within a foot or three from the surface.

    That first hole you dug wasn't a total waste as it served a nice little shady den for poopers.. I don't know a lot about rocks yet, I've always liked looking at them and bugs and birds and plants.. but I'm learning little by little thanks to you. I enjoyed the footage.

      In the past I have often needed to have 2 digging holes side by side. One for Gypsy to lay in, and one for me to dig. :D

    That is good to know all the geodes are almost gone from all the collecting digging closer to the North Mt seem like a good spot. I have been there 4 times was like treasure Island in 2003.

      I think there is plenty of collectible material laying about this site. I guess my main goal in this video was to show that digging around in the loose dirt in the pits was not very effective. It was something that I had not tried before.
      Thanks for watching and commenting! :D

      @@camplapidary There is a geode the size of a car if they have no dug it out already in the pit , looks like it might be buried or taken.

    Could just be they’re to deep or to many people have been there.unfortunately when people are allowed to do digs like this they usually take advantage of it.

      I believe there are plenty of geode rocks out there. Digging through the loose dirt is not the way to find them though. I just wanted to see for myself.
