Just saw the shots of my brother Bill from Walcott and his find at Jacob's Mine. He brought a lot of the smaller ones he found up to my place yesterday and we had a ball cracking geodes and finding "hidden treasures" together!! Who knows, he may have turned me into a Crystal Collector (my wife's already hooked)!! Great shooting and for me, very educational. I'll be sharing this with my grand-kids!
This is great! Yes, Bill was getting some nice looking geodes out of the wall! So great you tuned in, check it out one day, you will enjoy digging! 🙌💎💎💎
Geez Louise! They’re just fallin outta that wall! Looks like such a good time dude! And the blue chalcedony one!?! Beeeeeeeeautiful brother! Thank you for the video! Love em all! Oh and great info from rockhounding Rob!
The geodes and nodules from there are so beautiful. Our youngest son has a shop where he sells crystals and I love to go and just look at them. We have a few he has given me as gifts but the huge amethyst geodes are my favourites but our cottage is too small sadly. We go when its quiet as my wheelchair takes up a lot of room in his small shop, he set it out so I and others can see everything. You have made it easier for me to be able to talk about his stock which has really pleased him. Thank you for teaching me as I'm never to old to learn. Bless you my friend Mary-Ellen UK
Those are very sparkly and very decorative in your home. Mother Earth has some really Beauty to offer, everywhere we look. I have a small set, where the edges are kind of thick, but with perfect Quartz crystals inside, the edges were, polished to a beautiful shine and display a beautiful pattern. I love them💜💜 Loved this video, Amazing💜🙏💜
I have a geode from the original Mt St Helen eruption in 1980. a friend of mines uncle was a ranger there and gave it to him as a present and i traded a pencil box and some crayons for it =) . I was 8 years old and still have it to this day..
I would love to be able to do this. I can't get to these places to dig because I'm disabled. I have collected rocks minerals and gemstones for years but mostly by buying them from other people. I love watching your videos it almost as good as being there. I live in Kentucky and I would love to hunt geodes but I have never been that lucky to get one
Chicago Papi hey this is rob my youtube channel is digger dawgs aventures.come on down .i also come to Chicago alot and sell geodes.kane co.fleamarket.Rosemont & Greayslake
I love Geodes I live down near the St.Louis area and found a crazy interesting geode this year , when I cracked it open it looked like it was full of coal with crystals grown all around it
Love your videos. The geodes I got from Oregon were more like those nodules, solid and usually had some sort of design in the middle. I have one that looks like a butterfly, and one that looks like a shrimp. Those have to be cut open with a diamond dust saw blade and usually takes 24 hours or more to open. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah, when digging with a pitch fork, reminded me of digging for potatoes. Thanks, from an arm chair miner.
I highly suggest coming down to Perryville, Kentucky, and digging around the sides of the creek in baril park. Ive dug some amazing ones out, and i could give a link to some photos if youd like. Its a 50/50 chance they will be hollow or solid, but its all worth it for those hollow ones. Ive found one at least the size of my head! Its amazing geode country down here.
Oh great! Wanted to send a bonus but he global shipping company that ships out will not do that.. sometimes I can sneak one in though, but they usually repack and only send what’s been sold! So glad it made it there fast💎🙌🙏🙌
I would have given you my wife, to follow you on your ..... sorry .... my life, I meant my life to follow you on all your crystal rides, Sir. Sorry for my little pun, but you give me so much happiness with your YT videos that I'm highly inspired, You see ;-) I have 5 precious crystals in my home in Norway, wife and 4 children. And it's just my wife who does not share the same joy of collecting / prospecting gems / crystals .... However, she likes to look at The Crystal Collector videos, so I think we have something going on ;-)
Whaaaaaaat!! - Now I get something wet in my eyes. First because you answer me so nicely. Secondly, because I can not travel by plane before 3 to 4 months, "said the doctor." She found out that I have a "rabbit heart". It's too fast and irregular too often. " (I'm only 48.) - However, now, my wife and I have planned a US trip next summer ;-) Thank You Of All My Hart, for all the good work you do for us who are watching. You are the one and only Crystal Collector!!!
This is a nice business. The investment in equipment, heavy machinery, storage, and transportation as well as mining permits are worth it for professional prospectors. Average folks can not afford such large scale investments. Still worth the entertainment value is there with the quirky commentary from the show host. Cheers~

Go to Lebanon Junction,Ky..Lots of nice geodes..a few are even a light lavender..And some are geodized fossils..I want to help other fellow rockhounds..
Im disabled and was wondering i this place is easily accessible? I walk with a cane. I want to be able to walk up to it, sit on the ground and just dig. Im a crystal freak and have tons of them but my dream is to actually dig them myself. This place looks great and I live in Missouri so its not too far from me.
I'm sure you can. I think you just pull in and get put and start looking and go wherever you can. I've got bad back problems but I'm gonna take my grandkids there at some point and I will crawl around if I have too hahhahaa. I'm in oklahoma
I just got back from there. You drive right up to the site (If you have a truck or if the creek is low, otherwise it's a short minute walk), and the layer that the geodes are in is in the lower level (no climbing needed). I would say go for it! They have tools that you can use and everything.
Yes you should be able to get to a lot of sections here. You can pull right up to the pit in car. Some hills but many areas you can go right up to easily💎🙌
The campground Wildcat Springs in Hamilton is really nice. We stayed there twice this summer🤩... the locals we met were novice to expert geode hunters. All were willing to tell us what they knew.
I go creekin all the time in Missouri and i am pleased to say i have found many. I tell my sister at least i dont gotta go spend lots of money on these cuz i find them at the creek for free lol
As far as Enchanted Reveries question, if the creek is not high, generally able to drive across a small creek along the last short lag to the mine, if you drive all the way into the mine, you would not have much problem, getting around.
Is cracking geodes the preferred way of opening them? Here in the northwest we have "thunder eggs" that are mostly solid, and they are cut open and polished.
I think the geodes are beautiful and it kinda reminds me of an Easter egg hunt but I love the larger crystals, they are my favorite. Sparkle, Sparkle!! 😜
Wow, those are some nice ones! That one with the blue barite crystal, what is that velvety dark rust red next to the barite? Love that! How cool, and $20 per bucket is pretty darned reasonable.
Dawn Hernandez the rust coloured mineral is dolomite.most geodes with barite crystals have dolomite.and are coveted.by local colectors..i am aka Rockhound Rob
I didn’t know you could find marcasite in them. A lot of my vintage jewelry is marcasite. Love it! One of my favorites was the one early in the video - you kind of always get 2 for 1 - but it was blue on one side and white/clear on the other. So two different ones.. Are they very difficult to dig or would it be easier if it was a little muddy? I love them! Nice video.
They are pretty simple today, you just have to dig into the wall at the right level. I don’t think it would matter if it was wet or not at this location, it’s a fun place for sure!
This is right up my alley. Very earthy, relaxing and fun. I have a nice Spirit Quartz geode. The set is mounted on my Living room wall
Thanks for watching and the support 🙌🙏

Let's get a rock tumbling video soon lol! Just kidding bud, love your enthusiasm and the beautiful gems you pull!
May do one soon! Need to do all sort of videos to keep it interesting!
Boy am i ready to make a trip!!! Look out here i come!!! Awesome finds. Your Chip he is Dale!!!lol 😄😄
Your happiness when the geodes pop is magical dude.
Hey Rob and Brian. I was up there last month and had Rob as a guide. Found some great geodes.
Yay that’s awesome! Rob is a great guy and guide!!
Let me know where these quirries exist and the prise of crystel.
Those are very sparkly and very decorative in your home. Mother Earth has some really Beauty to offer, everywhere we look. I have a small set, where the edges are kind of thick, but with perfect Quartz crystals inside, the edges were, polished to a beautiful shine and display a beautiful pattern. I love them💜💜
Loved this video, Amazing💜🙏💜
Oh yea! It’s so interesting how the quartz formed inside the geodes! And fun fun cracking them open to see what’s inside!
I believe it would be fun😃 like opening a present at Christmas, Luv it💜
Beautiful....would love to see a video of when they are getting all cleaned up👍
I picked up something similar from Morocco with purple crystals
Looks like fun....Would love to go hunting for crystals someday
I have a geode from the original Mt St Helen eruption in 1980. a friend of mines uncle was a ranger there and gave it to him as a present and i traded a pencil box and some crayons for it =) . I was 8 years old and still have it to this day..
Oh wow! That’s piece you have sounds awesome!!
@@TheCrystalCollector wish I could post a picture, it's a very nice smokey quartz. Very small crystal structure. It looks like glitter inside
Geodes remind me of a Christmas surprise..you are excited just dreaming of what could be inside.. lol. Those were beautiful! love your videos!
🙌 thanks
Reminds me of a vacation I took 20 years ago to Keokuck. Such a fun vacation. Nice video.
The cutter dude really knows how to find the top and bottom! Almost all the geodes he cracked, each side looked different.
Another great video!! Thanks for giving me something good to watch after a long, stressful day 😊
Love your videos. When you got to the honey hole, I thought it was like going to the hen house picking eggs out of the nests! Such fun!
Amazing adventure some sweet sweet geodes and so plentiful thanks and will spread the word
I would love to be able to do this. I can't get to these places to dig because I'm disabled. I have collected rocks minerals and gemstones for years but mostly by buying them from other people. I love watching your videos it almost as good as being there. I live in Kentucky and I would love to hunt geodes but I have never been that lucky to get one
How cool TH-cam is for people to contact you and have you check out their mine claims and help them get discovered with their mineral finds!
Yes it’s becoming a great thing and resource!
Another fabulous video....just bummed that Chase and I weren't there with you on that day.
looks like a great spot, I will be going there soon. thanks for sharing
Thanks so much for doing these videos!!! I love them!!!
Although I prefer the cylindical quartz crystals estedically, I've got to go there and dig some day soon with Rob as my guide also.

Hello crystal collector ! I love geodes !
My friend phoned me after I left his house to notify me that this video was uploaded. Instantly went to search it up.
That’s so awesome 👏🙌💎🙌⚒👋👋👋
Another awesome vid keep them coming! 😎

was in Hamilton Illinois on Sept 28th through 30th 2018 at a privite undclosed spot got around 200 pounds of geodes didn't cost but my labor lol
Oh nice!’ Sounds like your spot is amazing! Congratulations 🙌

Lol im taking my kids here soon. So thank you for the video
His intro is the best gem...
I love geodes
Quartz is my favourite
thanks for the great video , I am going to the mine soon.

Im gonna look into it more. Its on my bucket list! I will dig crystals before I leave this earth :)

Enchanted Reveries yes this site is easy to access you can drive right up to it.my site the borrow pit is verry easy to acces ad well.
Yes you should be able to get to a lot of sections here. You can pull right up to the pit in car. Some hills but many areas you can go right up to easily💎🙌
Whaaaaaaat 🙌💎🙏👋👋👋👋
Looks like a lot of fun!
That looks like fun!! Happy hunting!!!☠👻👽👾🤖👿😈☠👻👽👾🤖👿😈
They kinda look like potatoes 😹🙌🏼
Sarah Vella thats y my favorite digging tool is a potato fork.
Thats what i thought, when they were digging so many in the soft dirt!
Lol yes crystal potatoes 🥔💎🤣
Yeah they do but eat these potatoes you’ll break your teeth
Hey crystal collector your vids are awesome!
Looks like a genie was living in there. What do you know I'm subscribing today.
I'm over by Kansas City in Mo and I find them all time!!
Oh yah I was thinking about meeting up at emerald hollow mine because I know a Lot of people there and u can dig up emeralds and crystals
Cool video! Very informative
Planning my camping trips as I type.
The campground Wildcat Springs in Hamilton is really nice. We stayed there twice this summer🤩... the locals we met were novice to expert geode hunters. All were willing to tell us what they knew.
I go creekin all the time in Missouri and i am pleased to say i have found many. I tell my sister at least i dont gotta go spend lots of money on these cuz i find them at the creek for free lol
"Right off the rip!!!" This video was facet-nating!! ❤
As far as Enchanted Reveries question, if the creek is not high, generally able to drive across a small creek along the last short lag to the mine, if you drive all the way into the mine, you would not have much problem, getting around.
how much crystal do you have now
DUDE! I have a question,What do you do after digging those awesome stuff?
Do you sell them,or do you just keep them as a collection?
I sell and give them away, have an eBay page at ultra rocks, you can Google search for it
❤ AWESOME dig guys!
Shine that nodule up and use them as bookends
Very interesting Love it 😍

I think the geodes are beautiful and it kinda reminds me of an Easter egg hunt but I love the larger crystals, they are my favorite. Sparkle, Sparkle!! 😜
I'd call the "solids" bookends!!!
Wow, those are some nice ones! That one with the blue barite crystal, what is that velvety dark rust red next to the barite? Love that! How cool, and $20 per bucket is pretty darned reasonable.
Dawn Hernandez the rust coloured mineral is dolomite.most geodes with barite crystals have dolomite.and are coveted.by local colectors..i am aka Rockhound Rob
The rust stuff is decaying dolomite Crystals ,. Yes the rates are great for collecting! It’s a great spot! 🙌💎
I have one with smokey quartz inside...😳
i love your content! i must admit having a hard time with audio though. Thank you for sharing
whattttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt bangerrrr quartsss my mannnn
Thanks whaaaaaaat! 😊🤣💎
Nice videos
As a kid we would fine them in a ditch next to the house this was in Tennessee
I'm totally going to visit
Gorgeous!!!!
Hello from texas.I am so jelous.
Whaaaaaaaatt!
I have a bucket of thunder eggs from central Oregon. I still haven’t opened them yet though.
I didn’t know you could find marcasite in them. A lot of my vintage jewelry is marcasite. Love it! One of my favorites was the one early in the video - you kind of always get 2 for 1 - but it was blue on one side and white/clear on the other. So two different ones..

They are pretty simple today, you just have to dig into the wall at the right level. I don’t think it would matter if it was wet or not at this location, it’s a fun place for sure!
@@TheCrystalCollector I sent you in Messenger a 10 second skateboard video I think you’ll like. Thanks for the info! 💛
Daniel, thanks for the info. Can you fine crystals there?
Hoovin Shmoovin
6 th.
Also would love to do that
Oh wow, it's free? Well I wonder how often people go visit at that mine.
Yes, there is no cost to get in, but $20 per bucket on your finds, a very good deal!
My daughter amara love's geodes.
And her nickname is Rockhound.
Wouldn’t it be better to use a saw to cut these open? Then you could polish the flat cut edge
Yes, but we didn’t have one available
i love ur videos!
It's like digging for expensive potatoes...nice.
We would call them dinosaur eggs
At 7:16 that little crystal looks like Falkor the luck dragon from the Never Ending Story.
Why does every place he goes to be like a thousand miles away from me whyyyyyyyyyy
I wonder if I go outside my house will I find hollow rocks ?
Men.. you "Rock"!!
Found a Geode but it was a blue moss agate type
Found it in my yard
Hey... what does the ancient air trapped inside smell like?
Zac Alleywalker Lowing i have never smelled anything from the air.but sometimes the water that is in them smells like sulfer.
Have you been to the gem show in Arizona? If not, I suggest that you go there that's time I went I saw some good pieces of bismuth at it
Yes, go every year to Tucson show! Actually doing a bismuth video very soon!
Really that is so cool I will definitely see that video
