Sorry about the delay in releasing vids, but we're back now and planning a ton of cool stuff to share with you all soon! Hit that thumbs up button if you liked this video and check out PaleoPacks listed here: palecris.com/paleopack
I was worried about the delay and wondered if you were on an adventure or if the storm somehow interfered. Glad you are well. Still digging through my second paleopack!!
My grandson lives in Indianapolis and is a junior rock hound. Loves watching your videos and planning his next rock hunting Expedition. I'm sure a trip to Kentucky will be on his bucket list. He is also saving up to buy a Paleopack! Thanks for introducing him to a fascinating hobby and possible vocation. Happy Grandma from Virginia!
I live in Camby and your grandson should go to Morgan Monroe there's creeks and around Martinsville and down at Monroe Reservoir it's very common and easy to find geodes close to home
It's bindweed. The flowers are almost identical but the leaves give it away. Beautiful and highly invasive. The vines wrap around each other and form very strong ropes to take down anything around it.
Chris, you have amazing followers. I commented on one of your videos when you were in Michigan. I had mentioned for you to stop and visit us at Russo’s Pizza in Wyoming MI for some great handmade food. 😮😮A result of that comment being seen by one of your followers, a rock hound as well, he brought my 10 year old son and I a surprise package full of Michigan dirt and so so many beautiful fossils, rocks and more! Thank you Eric Hallman for your very special thoughtful package. We have yet to find everything in the box but have been so excited with what we have uncovered so far!!
Whenever I would open a geode, I would have kind of a ritual where I would pause and think about how, I am about to be the first person to see the inside and that what is inside has been hidden from the world and daylight for over 300 million years. Puts it in perspective.
We were in this same creek recently. I would love to meet up to rockhound next time you are in the area. My wife and I have been cutting the last 3 hours. Got some nice pieces. Also we could plug up your saw to my truck down in the creek and cut at location. Not having to walk back out with buckets of geodes is a game changer. Water levels are at lows right now since we have had no rain up here for weeks.
Went back up there recently and didn't bring the saw but have buckets more of geodes. Met someone there that figured it out from this video. He said he heard a train horn and looked up active train lines and saw this was the only place it could be. Geoguessing at the highest level@@HollerHomestead
10:40 It's good to know that it's not frowned upon to collect the loose crystals. Makes me feel better about all the crystals I've collected without digging into the cliffs/hillside.😊⚒️💎😁
Thank you for showing those flowers! You didn’t have to show them, but you did. I moved to the desert a while ago and I really miss the lush forests where I grew up and seeing those flowers made me so happy. Thank you! ☺️🥹
That was amazing! I love kentucky geodes and the beautiful kentucky agate! Those were amazing. And now that you know what you are looking for, you need to go back!
Thank you for posting these!!! I live in Kentucky and I'm just getting into rockhounding. I asked for a rock tumbler for my birthday and I've been binging videos on local rocks
I would want to take everything. I'd have way too many rocks. I did that is Nova Scotia - threw all my clothes away and filled my bicycle panniers with picture rocks from St. Mary's beach. I could barely lift the bags.
I think the fruit ( and nuts ) you found is a Buckeye ! My great-grandparents would always carry one in their pockets for good luck. They had a couple of trees on their farm in Floyd Co - Virginia.
The nut you cracked open was a buckeye. Legend has it they are good luck. Squirrels love them but they only eat two of the pod. The third is alleged to be poison. I have buckeye trees and collect them but definitely will not eat one. Love your videos.
That was cool!!! Only reason I watched your video is that I saw you with What the Hales in Otter Creek. You impressed me with your extensive knowledge and your playfulness. Sure am glad I watched!
Thunder Eggs with No holes ARE Thunder Eggs. However, when there is a cavity in the Thunder Egg, it becomes a Geode. So in KY, you found both. Some of them are Cool..Love the ones that look like Lace agates.
I just watched this video! It looks just like places in Columbus, IN. Streams full of geodes with so many crystals. there are also brachiopods and crinoids.
The white flower was hedge bind weed. The orange at the beginning looked like jewel weed which is an antidote to poison ivy. Usually grows near poison Ivy also.
I dont know what the name of your favorite flower is in English but here in germany, it's called Ackerwinde and some people see it as a Pest since it grows basically everywhere. It also comes in many different vibrant colours. From solid pink, blue, Red or purple over to colourful stripes
I had a round Geode and when it was cut open it has beautiful Amethyst in it and the opening is heart shaped. One side of it has a rock sticking out of the Amethyst with clear crystals on it.
That's cool you came to KY.i an from outside of Lexington nicholasville. I grew up finding geodes. The ones in KY can be pretty depends on the area. I've got the coolest peice of botryodial it looks like peice of wood on one side then on other it's tiny bunch of pea size botryodial. It's very cool the victorian house I used to live in had a well the dug out for bottles etc😊
Please bring a clamp (c clamp with rubber padding, or even a wood working “squeeze clamp”) so you can hold the geode without your fingers going towards the blade. Cool video!
i was in cave city,KY last month. at mammoth caves gift shop they had them for sale and in cave city there was house on side of the road selling them. i wanted to get some but didnt want to smash them open. i drove from CT. what a fun trip. love the cool rocks.
That pit you recovered from the ground is called a chestnut, remember around Christmas time that song " Chestnuts Roasted from an open Fire" Could have come from anywhere upstream from a chestnut tree.
I grew up in SE Iowa where there are tons of geodes. There’s even a Geode State Park. The library in my hometown town had geodes incorporated into the walls.
I have seen entire vertical banks made almost entirely of geodes of every size , whole , broken , etc .. I ended up with a lot of ballast in my kayak . Where I live we do not have good geodes ( usually ) , but instead , have paper shell geodes . Finding ones that rattle are common , and , occasionally , you find one that floats . These also have a sand of floater micro crystals in them and under a microscope , they are gorgeous .
Me and my dad did that in Tennessee when I was little and it's one of my favorite memories. I still have one geode- even though it does have a hammer smash in the center where I thought I would chisel out individual crystals to give to my friends. Cute idea but I ruined it! 😂30 years later I still have the memory!
When i was a kid i used to search for rocks when i was on vacation, and throw them on the ground over and over again to get it to crack and reveal what’s inside. I also got a bunch of other kids to do the same. I still have some of which i found. Didn’t know this was a thing for older people as well. 😄 So much easier with actual tools.
First time I’ve watched anything like this. Really cool! Loved collecting rocks as a kid. Still on occasion I’ll keep an interesting rock. Only have bought geodes like at rummage sales. I’d go insane if i found one in the wild. Curious what do you do with those tiny crystals?

omg you petting the frog and giving him his roof back was the highlight, so cute, so respectful of nature, youre amazing!
yea 😮
That round thing you busted open is called a buckeye old-timers used to keep them in their pocket supposed to give good luck and help with arthritis
You'll find them in Ohio and such too. What they found was one that was just fresh off the tree
My grandpa carried one:)
PS: Do not eat them. They are poisonous.
@@illekyemar646 no but the peanut butter and chocolate buckeyes are definitely good 😊😆
@@JuiceBoxx_627 truth:)

@@ricrinehart975 I just went camping at Lake Monroe this weekend and walked the shoreline and found a few. There are a lot around there.
@@ricrinehart975Monroe reservoir dolomite and quartz geodes are spectacular I've been a few times
100th like
My father was a geologist who took me geode hunting in upstate Maine. He found a beautiful deep purple crystal geode. What a great day that was.
Amethyst
@@vincentbougie7776 it probably is amythist be but there is more than one purple crystal geode
You were blessed to have a Dad like that.
@@AstandsForArsonit might be amethyst because all the imes when people say purple geode they have a amethyst
Your white flower growing on a vine is a morning glory
It's bindweed. The flowers are almost identical but the leaves give it away. Beautiful and highly invasive. The vines wrap around each other and form very strong ropes to take down anything around it.
That's definitely not a morning glory. Morning glories are more colorful, and they grow on a bush that is highly toxic.
I also believe it is morning glory. Morning glory can be from white to blue or purple and is definitely a vine not a bush.
@@cellogirl11rw55 morning glorys can be white to .
It is bindweed...considered an invasive weed. But yes, they have a pretty flower.

I live in TN. Bout 3 hours away from this creek.@@charleneinman3625
Would you mind sharing the location? Would love to take a small trip to look around
You sir are a genius I have a generator and tile saw....I have ideas
Went back up there recently and didn't bring the saw but have buckets more of geodes. Met someone there that figured it out from this video. He said he heard a train horn and looked up active train lines and saw this was the only place it could be. Geoguessing at the highest level@@HollerHomestead
Where is this location. I'm headed to Kentucky this weekend
I am literally obsessed with geodes I have about 6 right now waiting in my rock drawer ready to be cracked open y’all are literally living my dream!
If they aren't too big a tile saw will cut them
10:40 It's good to know that it's not frowned upon to collect the loose crystals. Makes me feel better about all the crystals I've collected without digging into the cliffs/hillside.😊⚒️💎😁
16:37. I LOVE this geode!! I love how you can see the crystal points grown right up through the agate!!! Beautiful!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I thought the same!
Glad to see you back in our state! Lots of neat treasures here, and I'm glad you found some good ones!
Fun video !! I just couldn't watch anymore past the 1:54 mark. Nice to see young folk outside !!
Thank you for showing those flowers! You didn’t have to show them, but you did. I moved to the desert a while ago and I really miss the lush forests where I grew up and seeing those flowers made me so happy. Thank you! ☺️🥹
That was amazing! I love kentucky geodes and the beautiful kentucky agate! Those were amazing. And now that you know what you are looking for, you need to go back!
Pretty cool Kentucky agate finds! My favorite are the Kentucky Geodes loaded with Amethyst points!
Those are so rare I've only found one maybe two
So jealous... you two did great! Wonderful adventure. Thanks for taking us along. ❤️ 💕
As someone who also loves to open and find geodes (I get them from Amazon or from a store)I really like the content.
Those are buckeye's that were in that green thing.
Thank you for posting these!!! I live in Kentucky and I'm just getting into rockhounding. I asked for a rock tumbler for my birthday and I've been binging videos on local rocks
Where in Kentucky is this?
Amazing find of geodes. Looks like Bri is your good luck charm. Wonderful vid. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I enjoyed watching two people who enjoy geodes as much as, if not more than I do.🙂
So glad to see a new video from you. Loved the collecting and cutting!
so many crystals you find there, it's really amazing friend.
It made me happy hearing you thank the fly for its blessing. Love the Geodes found!! Cant wait to see more!
You guys have been in my territory. Glad you enjoyed it.
Where do you live?
Are you serious you left that big botryoidal geode ?! That was the best one ! 😱
it’s so cool how many there are just laying around!
I have my own shop for gyeods and when I search for them I like to take some from home and leave some on the lake for other peaple to find
Loved the last one you guys cut . Amazing colors
I would want to take everything. I'd have way too many rocks. I did that is Nova Scotia - threw all my clothes away and filled my bicycle panniers with picture rocks from St. Mary's beach. I could barely lift the bags.
true those ball crystals do look amazing👍
You two are adorable! Love your video!!
This Buckeye enjoyed watching you pop open that buckeye!
Amazing and beautiful geodes. Thank you for sharing :)
I have around 3-4000lbs of geodes in my backyard. They were collected in southern Indiana. The larger ones are 40lbs or more each.
Can you make a video of that? Sounds amazing
Where in Southern Indiana, if you don’t mind me asking? I’d love to go with my best friend sometime.
We love finding hollow geodes as well and cutting them. Enjoyed the video and good luck in your next hunt!
I hope you all were ok. I’m SOOOO glad your back !!
Glad to see you are both fine after the hurricane.
Cannot wait to start hunting for my own!
I think the fruit ( and nuts ) you found is a Buckeye ! My great-grandparents would always carry one in their pockets for good luck. They had a couple of trees on their farm in Floyd Co - Virginia.

I love everything you guys put up. Awesome and very jellyyyyyyy, love from Australia
Great video as always!
Definitely need a roll of ziplock bags in your backpack….so many wonderful little bits of nature to collect
I love your guys energy! And the geodes and agates are all amazing and beautiful.
Lake Cumberland in South KY has insane amounts of geodes riddling it's shoreline. I never seen anything like it..insane
enjoyed seeing the finds
Those are amazing that last one you cut was the best I would love to find something like that
That was cool!!! Only reason I watched your video is that I saw you with What the Hales in Otter Creek. You impressed me with your extensive knowledge and your playfulness. Sure am glad I watched!
So beautiful! Look forward to more videos. Thanks!
Where In Kentucky is this exactly I would love going
I found some geodes and they were nothing special but how do I identify them ❤❤❤love your videos
Thunder Eggs with No holes ARE Thunder Eggs. However, when there is a cavity in the Thunder Egg, it becomes a Geode. So in KY, you found both. Some of them are Cool..Love the ones that look like Lace agates.

The english name is bindweed, the latin name is convolvulus arvensis.
Do you mean morning glory? Is that the same as bindweed?
@@firehorsewoman414 yis
You are really passionate about your work, i love it !
1:35 what a beautiful aged fly fishing reel geode, great colors
I had a round Geode and when it was cut open it has beautiful Amethyst in it and the opening is heart shaped. One side of it has a rock sticking out of the Amethyst with clear crystals on it.
Fabulous! That was an exciting video! Thank you!
Wow, you had a really lucky day because in addition to all the cool crystals you found... YOU FOUND A BUCKEYE! 👍😃
Go to Arkansas. Diamonds and crystals. Red clay dirt.
Thank you for the vid. I was trying to figure out where i was going to go hunt. Now im heading there first thing in the morning.
10:38 How nice of you guys!
Cool finds!
Wonder what part of kentucky this was. I dont live in the eastern part but I wonder if IL has any
It’s just so beautiful😂❤😊
OMG it's not fair, cannot believe you found that place. So jealous!
That's cool you came to KY.i an from outside of Lexington nicholasville. I grew up finding geodes. The ones in KY can be pretty depends on the area.

Do you know of any good road cuts to nice creeks to hunt?
That looks like so much fun.
Жеоды интересные!!бывают очень красивые кристаллы!!спасибо за видео!
That green thing you found with the brown nuts inside is a horse chestnut. They often have spiky skin and are highly poisonous if consumed.
Please bring a clamp (c clamp with rubber padding, or even a wood working “squeeze clamp”) so you can hold the geode without your fingers going towards the blade. Cool video!
i was in cave city,KY last month. at mammoth caves gift shop they had them for sale and in cave city there was house on side of the road selling them. i wanted to get some but didnt want to smash them open. i drove from CT. what a fun trip. love the cool rocks.
Whereabouts in KY did ya'll find them?
That pit you recovered from the ground is called a chestnut, remember around Christmas time that song " Chestnuts Roasted from an open Fire" Could have come from anywhere upstream from a chestnut tree.
At 11:39 the geode Chris held up had a center that resembled a cherubic angel face!
I grew up in SE Iowa where there are tons of geodes. There’s even a Geode State Park. The library in my hometown town had geodes incorporated into the walls.
Rattle Stones... what we called them...There's a hillside by where I live in Ky that has a couple out croppings full of them.
What area of KY? I’m in WV and hunt arrowheads in eastern KY. I’ll bet you could find points in that creek for sure
those filled in geodes could be made into some nice cabs. They have a good pendant size.
There was a teardrop shaped one that I thought would make a perfect pendant
I have seen entire vertical banks made almost entirely of geodes of every size , whole , broken , etc ..
I ended up with a lot of ballast in my kayak .
Where I live we do not have good geodes ( usually ) , but instead , have paper shell geodes .
Finding ones that rattle are common , and , occasionally , you find one that floats .
These also have a sand of floater micro crystals in them and under a microscope , they are gorgeous .
Thanks so much for your videos- amazing. A New Orleans fan-
17:13 that is a beautiful agate!
Me and my dad did that in Tennessee when I was little and it's one of my favorite memories. I still have one geode- even though it does have a hammer smash in the center where I thought I would chisel out individual crystals to give to my friends. Cute idea but I ruined it! 😂30 years later I still have the memory!
yo now the hurricane went through u can now go back and find uncovered stuff love this stuff
Never knowing exactly what’s inside is fun to watch!
When i was a kid i used to search for rocks when i was on vacation, and throw them on the ground over and over again to get it to crack and reveal what’s inside. I also got a bunch of other kids to do the same. I still have some of which i found. Didn’t know this was a thing for older people as well. 😄 So much easier with actual tools.
I live in Scottsville Ky. I’m real close to Barren River Lake Area. I haven’t had much luck finding them in my area. Any suggestions?
Great stuff guys ! I'd be on my way back there by now !
Buckeyes!!
First time I’ve watched anything like this. Really cool! Loved collecting rocks as a kid. Still on occasion I’ll keep an interesting rock. Only have bought geodes like at rummage sales. I’d go insane if i found one in the wild. Curious what do you do with those tiny crystals?
The white flower you liked is Moonvine. It’s trumpet flower opens at night or deep shade at it’s very fragrant
I think the one in their video is actually just a morning glory. Moon flowers are much larger.
Would you share where in Kentucky this stream is? I’m a rock hound & live in Missouri, always looking for new places to go.
Kentucky is the best!
I love this video. I love rocks..... especially agates.
I love watching your videos!!! You two are so cute together and you find the most amazing treasures!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
