Interesting geodes compared to what I've found in the Keokuk area. I have found similar ones in north central Iowa. I suck at rock ID so no answers from me. Windy up hear so falling leaves will kill the rockhounding. Have fun at the dig. I'm hoping for one next spring as I can't make it this weekend. Rock on.✌️
I’m definitely on the lookout for more of them. They’re very unique. Almost reminds me of a thunder egg. The dig is going to be awesome and there will probably be another one late March or early April next year 👍🏽
I like em I think they may be plume's but not 100% sure ,I know we can polish them to shine like a mirror though :) So excited for the dig , se you tomorrow Brother its gonna be AWESOME !!!
That definitely looks like plume agate geode to me. The plume is just a other mineral that got in the hot silica rich water, that made the rock. And that other mineral started to have a chemical reaction inside the rock as it continued to form the plume structures. It can be like tube or moss looking. What we call moss agates, are not moss. There is no plant life in there. The moss is either a manganese or pyrite or other metal mineral, and it spreads out in the hot silica rich water before the water turned to rock over the years. Its cool science. Even cooler rocks! Your nodules are cool and good luck on you haunted ridge halloween machine dig! Have fun!
Great Finds!!!! I feel like we need to start a go fund me to get Dustin a real Rock saw!
Hopefully soon… I’m not sure where I will put it but it’s happening 😂
Love the fossils, looked like a sick haul. Super excited for the dig this weekend, i've been waiting ALL WEEK.
Super stoked!!! Wait till you see my costume!!! 😆

Thank you for the explanation 👍🏽 yeah these are definitely plume agate nodules. I suspect that the color is mainly iron sulfide minerals
Great finds, just finding your channel and gave you a sub. Happy Hunting! 👍🏻
Thanks lots more coming soon 👍🏽
What are the coordinates of this place? Are you down for geode hunting with us very soon?
It’s Reifschnider conservation area in Warren County. Maybe! I’m pretty busy
We seen u today a haunted ridge
Thanks for coming out I hope you found lots of good stuff and had fun
