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
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!
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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?
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.
This may be a not allowed question but what location kinda are you in, we are near oak ridge Tennessee my mom is currently battling terminal cancer and was wondering if this place was close so I can take her somewhere like this to find a neat GEO.?
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 .
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.
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.
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 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.
Where about in Ky did you go? I’m in Western Ky I didn’t get to walk the creeks this past summer but I will be out there next year. Y’all got yourselves some gorgeous crystals 😊
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 poor tree-when you took the geode out of its limb it was all, “aaaahhhh, finally!” Then you put it back!!😂😂 I love geode hunting in Kentucky. You also can find tons of fossils.

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 😊😆

@@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
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! ☺️🥹
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
Glad to see you back in our state! Lots of neat treasures here, and I'm glad you found some good ones!
As someone who also loves to open and find geodes (I get them from Amazon or from a store)I really like the content.
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!
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!
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
Amazing find of geodes. Looks like Bri is your good luck charm. Wonderful vid. Thanks for sharing.
So jealous... you two did great! Wonderful adventure. Thanks for taking us along. ❤️ 💕
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
Fun video !! I just couldn't watch anymore past the 1:54 mark. Nice to see young folk outside !!
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.
Are you serious you left that big botryoidal geode ?! That was the best one ! 😱
Where in Kentucky is this?
It made me happy hearing you thank the fly for its blessing. Love the Geodes found!! Cant wait to see more!
so many crystals you find there, it's really amazing friend.
Great video. I enjoyed watching two people who enjoy geodes as much as, if not more than I do.🙂
Those are buckeye's that were in that green thing.
it’s so cool how many there are just laying around!
So glad to see a new video from you. Loved the collecting and cutting!
We love finding hollow geodes as well and cutting them. Enjoyed the video and good luck in your next hunt!
I found some geodes and they were nothing special but how do I identify them ❤❤❤love your videos
Lake Cumberland in South KY has insane amounts of geodes riddling it's shoreline. I never seen anything like it..insane
You two are adorable! Love your video!!
This Buckeye enjoyed watching you pop open that buckeye!
Amazing and beautiful geodes. Thank you for sharing :)
You guys have been in my territory. Glad you enjoyed it.
Where do you live?
Loved the last one you guys cut . Amazing colors
I hope you all were ok. I’m SOOOO glad your back !!
true those ball crystals do look amazing👍
Glad to see you are both fine after the hurricane.
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!

The english name is bindweed, the latin name is convolvulus arvensis.
Do you mean morning glory? Is that the same as bindweed?
@@firehorsewoman414 yis
Definitely need a roll of ziplock bags in your backpack….so many wonderful little bits of nature to collect
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.
Also stinging neddle
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.
I love your guys energy! And the geodes and agates are all amazing and beautiful.
I love everything you guys put up. Awesome and very jellyyyyyyy, love from Australia
Wonder what part of kentucky this was. I dont live in the eastern part but I wonder if IL has any
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.
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?
Where in KY were you finding these? I live in KY and want to find some! A few of those little geodes would make great jewelry slabs!!
not sure where they were but north of cumberland there are thousands in the creeks
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.
Would you share where in Kentucky this stream is? I’m a rock hound & live in Missouri, always looking for new places to go.
Where in Kentucky did you go? I would love to take my nephew. He loves rock hunting.
Where in Kentucky did you go rockhounding for this video? Thanks for sharing. We didn’t know about the loose crystals in geodes.
Probably not to far off of 75 somewhere
So beautiful! Look forward to more videos. Thanks!
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
This may be a not allowed question but what location kinda are you in, we are near oak ridge Tennessee my mom is currently battling terminal cancer and was wondering if this place was close so I can take her somewhere like this to find a neat GEO.?
look up geode creek. great spot for geodes. 4x4 required to get down in the creek with a vehicle. Otherwise you can just walk down and find them
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?
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.
Where In Kentucky is this exactly I would love going
Wow, you had a really lucky day because in addition to all the cool crystals you found... YOU FOUND A BUCKEYE! 👍😃
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 .
Whereabouts in KY did ya'll find them?
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 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.
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.
Cannot wait to start hunting for my own!
The vegetation you broke open is buckeyes. What do you do with the tiny crystals?
Did the half rock at about 8:10 have garnets (industrial grade, I'm assuming) in it?
Have you ever been to Iowa? The geode is the state rock and they have a Geode State Park. I found a bunch in western Illinois but many were solids.
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!
You are really passionate about your work, i love it !
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.
Fabulous! That was an exciting video! Thank you!
Where about in Ky did you go? I’m in Western Ky I didn’t get to walk the creeks this past summer but I will be out there next year. Y’all got yourselves some gorgeous crystals 😊
Can you say where in KY you were? I'm assuming somewhere along the I-75 corridor.
OMG it's not fair, cannot believe you found that place. So jealous!
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.
yo now the hurricane went through u can now go back and find uncovered stuff love this stuff
Is this on public property? I would love to do something like this
I believe the fruit you found was a tung oil fruit sometimes called a tung nut......it is where we get tung oil for furniture polish
You guys should come up to the Red River Gorge here in KY and rock hunt some. Land of the Red agate here, plus those beautiful geodes.
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.
Hope you're planning a trip to Missouri soon if you want to hunt an area where you have to step over 3 good rocks to pick one up.
What do you use the little crystal's for? Cool, never knew about geodes in Kentucky.
enjoyed seeing the finds
Cool finds!
Great video as always!
Love it!!! Also where do you find creeks in Florida for thousands of teeth? Also is there anywhere in Missouri that I can find crystal?
Great stuff guys ! I'd be on my way back there by now !
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
1:35 what a beautiful aged fly fishing reel geode, great colors
That poor tree-when you took the geode out of its limb it was all, “aaaahhhh, finally!” Then you put it back!!😂😂 I love geode hunting in Kentucky. You also can find tons of fossils.
Where do you go?
