Geode Cracking Reveals 350 Million Year Trapped Water!
Вставка

- Cracking open some geodes from world, famous locality Keokuk, Iowa !! The crazy thing is that three of these were filled with water, two of them actually dating back 350 million years ago! Sometimes the water gets trapped in place as the geode was forming, and remained in there for that entire time, so exciting when you crack, one open and the water spills out!
It’s been a while y’all! Getting back to uploading every weekend and more!
Phone was stolen a while back and I lost around 7-8 videos and all other footage 😢. Had the best Herkimer videos of the year.. gone... But, it’s a new day and I’m back on the road gaining new footage to bring y’all!! So be ready for some epic videos coming out soon, whaaaaaaaaaaaat 💎
Best of luck!
Lol
Good luck bro!!!
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I discovered mudfossils and Geodes are tendon enthesis anchor balls. Pls contact me and we can Zoom if you are willing. At 2:38 the stalk you see is the fiber that attached that anchor. rogerATmudfossilsDOTcom
That is terrible! I can imagine the value of those videos was more than the phone it's self! For my phone it backs up all my videos to the cloud when on wifi. It cost a bit but it's worth the peace of mind. Hope that never happens to you again. :(
Thanks for all the positive feedback yall.had a great time cracking these with Brian.was hoping t I do a collecting vid but was to rainy. Hopefully we can do one this spring.
Hey Rob!!!! Yes we will be out and collect soon my brother!!
Next pandemic: Dinosaur flu from this guy ingesting 350million year old geode bacteria 🦠 😂
im not sure, but i dont think any bacteria\virus can live that long inside geode
Wow those geodes were beautiful with the larger crystals and druzy small ones and so sparkly.
It's amazing to think that water has been in there all those millions of years, it would be just pure.
Thank you Bryan, have a good week
Man I would love to look at some of the water under a microscope.
Same!!! And culture it to see what bacteria/fungi/yeast species grow
Same here✌🏼, 💧it’s kind of a big deal

I would be very interested too.
Yea to crack them under a flow hood in axenic situation would be great to grow and see if you get anything.
That damn dog is the cutest thing I've ever seen.. I just want to eat him up... Just adorable!
Cool geodes! I liked the one at 2:40, reminded me of a perfect pearl in the oyster. And the one at 11:12, so awesome! Your friend needs a geode water collector with a screen under each of his geode cracks. Collect it, fountain of youth water - evidently lol:) Sorry about your phone! I hope they realize what they have and give it back to you!
Oh my goodness! Those were some fantastic geodes! Man those enhydros are so cool! so awesome. And little matrix is just so darn cute!
🙌💎🙏
Wonder if that water could actually be used in scientific studies 🤔
The water builds up inside from heat and condensation.... its not 350 million year old water lol
@@landon1626 everyone is a expert on UA-cam.
Never in my life I’d be expecting to watch this on a Saturday morning at 8:30.
But I love watching Outback Opal Hunters so I’m finding this very cool
The water is special 👌🏼
Wish pipe cutters weren't so darn expensive. My saw with lapidary blade was FAR cheaper. This year I've cut 1k+ geodes on 1 blade and only cut thru a couple specimens the wrong way. Pipecutters are nice but saws are really good for entry level.
Yeah, I bought a used pipe cutter for $450 and I got it in the mail and the chain was locked up, it was a bummer I gotta get a new link for it
350 Million year old water. Do you want a zombie pandemic? THIS IS HOW YOU GET A ZOMBIE PANDEMIC! lol
😂😂😂 Foreal, they are trying to catch the dinosaur flu
Na, it’s really good for. Your teeth will be sparkling crystal clean.
Shoot man , I’d drill a hole and stick a straw into it
No dont stress the zombies will probably be stoned anyways
I would like to look for them
Nice show Thank You ....I've missed seeing you!!! Nice not to see Herkimer's!!! Think we spent the Summer plus in New Yourk!!!! Hope you and Matrix are well!!! Had to buy a laptop to resigned up to the club ...... Working on setting it up. I know nothing about computers.... I mean nothing !!!! I miss everyone in the club: such a lovely group of people!!!! 😁😁😁...well my bank closed my account in September and again in October... Someone got a hold of my account..... Its been CRAZY !!!!! Two different people ...two month in a row...what are the chances of that!!( maybe its time for a new bank!!!!)
Sorry I don't mean to be negative difficult to go threw all of this.
You stay well. Do you like your new camper! That snow was so Wild!!! I live in Massachusetts... It hasn't snowed yet here..... Thanks again for starring . Great to see Rockbound Rob again...he looks well.😀 well enjoy your week. See you next Sunday!! Hello to everyone in the clubhouse!!!😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😁😀😀😁😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎bye 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Oh wow, I hate that that happened to you with the bank, hopefully it’s fixed now, those things can be a mess!
I am really loving the camper set up, it cost a bit more to get around with gas and to stay at places, but I think it equals out since I can disconnect the truck and get around to more locations.
No fooling around, just gave us the best in the first segment, WOW!
Thank you! ❤
This is amazing! Just love the exitement just before it opens, and that wonderful Crack!- noise. This is just like nature´s easter eggs! They all come with a surprise inside :)
Rockhound Rob is so cool! Such an inspiration! Super happy I found your channel! Very interesting to learn more and see the awesome finds!
Rockhound Rob knows his crack
I sold a big Geo at a flea market for 5 bucks because the man was so in love with it. He used to go hike in the mountains and find his own but now is disabled and can’t do that anymore
That crunch when they break is amazing! Pure asmr. 😂
Yes, you’re right, it truly is, love it!
So glad to see you. Hope you've been busy, miss your videos.
The one geode blessed you both.
Yes 💎🙏🙌💜
Nice one boys! Absolutely drink that geode water 👍
Sux that your phone was stolen! Good to see you and Matrix again, Rockhound Rob too
Brian, this is how zombie apocalypses start! Drinking sketchy 300 million year old water, and BOOM. Zombies!! Gorgeous geodes though :)
I'm building a giant geode sling shot just for that occasion.i plenty of slid ones that will knock their heads clean off at a hundred yards er better
Love watching geodes getting cracked with this type of cutter, the sound…please don’t drink the geode water 😅💜💎💜
Do it, drink the mystery water. blood for the blood god.
On another note yes, the crackling is aesthetically pleasing, unlike saws which you don't want to hear to begin with.
You are right: don't drink that! You have NO idea what is in there. Come on!
could be old strains of bacteria that could be extremely dangerous lol scientists worry about the next plague or human ending virus could be trapped in the permafrost and ic melting from global warming they have found sum dangerous stuff, just something to think about
It's generally not recommended to drink water out of a geode. Here's why:
Unknown Minerals: The minerals inside a geode can vary depending on its geological history. Some minerals might be harmless, while others could be toxic if ingested.
Bacteria: While geodes are often sealed for millions of years, there's a chance recent fractures or cracks could have allowed bacteria or other contaminants to enter. Stagnant water can also harbor bacteria growth.
Unknown Chemical Composition: The water itself might have been trapped for a very long time and could contain dissolved minerals or other chemicals in unknown concentrations, potentially making it unsafe to drink.
In short, the risks outweigh the potential benefits. There's no guarantee the water is safe, and there are much better ways to quench your thirst!
Slice those full ones and polish em on a flat lap and make coasters. They are BEAUTIFUL as coaters.
I could sell you solid ones super cheap if u want to cut and polish them
… I would have drank the water too ✌🏼, awesome video
So fun to watch. Have shared your content for years… love watching💕
Thank you so much for sharing, I appreciate the support, much appreciated 🙌💎💜
"I Did That" sticker @9:24 on the TV. lol
Really nice geodes!! I have yet to make a trip out to Keokuk and mine for them. Gonna have to do that and make a video one of these days!
AHmazing!! Love the unique universe inside each one of the little globes..BEEAAUUTIFFUUULLL!💜💎🌌
Beautiful geodes. Matrix on the picnic table is adorable!!!!! 🐶🦴
You can truly find anything on UA-cam. Never knew I'd see real life Rick and Morty-like blokes cracking geodes and i do not have regrets 👌
Man I would love to see you go meet up with my man @Geode Cracker & Collector 🤘 good stuff
I would prefer to crack open a geode like Rockhound Rob does, there were some beauties he opened there Bryan. I have seen half and part geodes in our Son's shop, the amethyst ones are my favourites lol. I hadn't seen a whole one till your video, everyone of them contains a surprise. Matrix doesn't seem enthusiastic about the snow bless him, he isn't the only one, I wonder what he would be like if it starts laying? Dinner time for me so cheerio my darlings God bless you love and hugs Mary-Ellen UK
Yeah, they are more fun to crack open. That way I agree, I would love to find an amethyst geodes, but I don’t think we have those in our country.
You just drank from the fountain of youth day by day you'll become younger and younger.♥️
You need to bottle that geode water and sell it. "Bring Back Your Youth"
Very neat guy .thank you. I've found some clear yellow calcite, up in the thumb of Michigan
Iron Out powder works great. It is so easy and doesn't take long.
Yeah, I really enjoy the iron out. I don’t think there’s anything better, but you’re right you have to use the powder.
So in love!!! With the crystals! 😁
Grew up an hour away from Flint, Michigan & sadly, this prehistoric water is probably safer than the water there 😢
I am stunned by the beauty of these geodes
Wow bro!! Beautiful!!!!!!
I've found 2 with barite. Both are a bit smaller than a baseball and 1 is like your big one but smaller.
man gemology is such an underrated subject it needs more attention also love your videos man god I love gems so much they are so interesting and fascinating
I always loved the interesting facts and myths about them and god are they so shiny and sparkly especialy the ones that glow so naturally .
You are so, correct, hopefully my channel is helping to bring more inspiration and knowledge towards geology
@@TheCrystalCollector totally
These guys are all about the pure.... no cut........... but seriously thanks for the vids... u crackin' rock hounds....
Beautiful geodes ❤
It’s a dream of mine to go find some like these. I live on the other side of Illinois and have been wanting to plan a day trip across to that area. Any advice on where to go or how to set up? I have some basic mining gear.
I have always seen beautiful geodes in stores but nothing compares to the ones you find yourself. I would value an enhydro geode like one of those more than any diamond.
I don’t know about Illinois but here in Nevada I find them all of the time just on the ground while hiking just right off the paths. I’ve always spotted them on the surface and never had to dig much at all. Don’t know if that helps but I hope you find some beautiful geodes for yourself!
Think we'd have a bucket in it to catch water...
Two
Looks like an snow ice ball...
When you go geode hunting and you get thirsty just crack one and drink the water
I think if you get it (the water) tested it would reveal the truth about earth and it’s age and you aren’t ready for the truth.
How would water tell how old the earth is?
Rock Town Rob is a real character, one might even say A CRACKER JACK. I could watch those babies pop all day long, but only Rob is a master of that technique!! (I think people freaked out when he drank the water) But I thought as funny as Hell, perfect beginning for a Halloween flick! 🎃
Yeah, that would be funny, we could’ve done some theater and all the sudden had him turn into in monster, lol, great idea
I should do me a theam song!I am Geode man.everyone loves him.he drinks that water any time that he can.haha! Think Blacksabboth would mind?
Matrix is soo cute! @10:39 😊😅❤
I gotta go up north soon so I can power up on some of that geode water lol 😂
🍄 💎💜
Can u dig it?
Very good work my friend
I learned iron out is not good on calcite , it soaks in and makes it look rough and scratched. Muratic acid would be best just a quick dipped be fine in my experience with crystal cleaning.
Hi, I love crystals so much, and can you tell me all the states that you found and the city’s. Also the location.
Yes, check out my other videos, they are from all over America and it shows each location
The Elixir of the GEODE
Everybody makes fun of him until Rockhound Rob evolves into a higher being from drinking a super probiotic from the times of ancients. Don't let them get you down Rob, you keep enjoying your rocktails and mudtinis.
I also hear it's great on the rocks
Unbelievable! Love it 😍
I live in Keokuk! You mean you were here and didn't stop by for lunch? Ah so sad. LOL
Oh no 🙈 didn’t know I had the invite 🙌. Will be back soon!
@@TheCrystalCollector 👍
I wish I had places in Mississippi close to me to find geodes that would be great love you videos 🥰🥰
Yeah, I think the closest place for you would be Arkansas for Crystals
what and where do you look for in finding these geo rocks ?
gonna have to see if the home depot or lowes near me rents those soil pipe cutters. got a whole bunch i collected this summer to crack. hope to get some enhydros!!
bought one used on ebay for 40 bucks plus 20 shipping.
This is pretty fun watching, never would have thought of cutting them with Chain tongue pipe cutters.
🤔👍🏻🇺🇲
It would be cool as hell to test that water.
I feel like agate geodes are different than regular ones I feel like those are meant too cut vs cracking but regular ones like you said CRACKING is the best :)
You could bottle that water and sell it in LA for 20 grand a bottle the celebrities would go nuts for it. Geode brand crystal water I want a small cut of the sales
You guys should try to freeze them before you crack the water filled bois. Have some sick ass ice cubes
I’m wanting to get into rock hounding too! How do I get into some of these locations I’ve seen you get into? Thanks in advance. Btw I dig your enthusiasm!!!! 😊
Go to my main channel and look for the playlist button, I have a specific playlist that videos that are open to the public, some charge money and some are free but it’s a pretty long list that I continue to add to
Matrix 🐶!
Geodes from the Keokuk area are my favorite.
If you can collect that water and take it to a lab to test it, that would be great 👍
I did geode hunting in Keokuk too. Didn’t have much time as in town for funeral so we were in dresses hunting!! Bending over too many times and split my dress down the backside! Lol That’s a day to remember!!
Kind of a bummer you guys weren't able to preserve any of that water for study
Hello I recently acquired this beautiful black rock that has fossils in it someone told me it’s worth a lot of money because of how big it is and the amount of fossils it has it looks identical to Genuine Polished Orthoceras Fossil and is atleast 8 to 12 pounds. I’m wondering if you can tell me if it has any value
Imagine being that drop of water sleeping for 350 million years, you wake up and a weird old man want to drink you.
I saw an enhydro agate that was clear blue. Someone carefully cut it so you coud see the water but thick enough to preserve it. I wish I had bought it.
Oh wow that sounds super cool!
Pure Diamond Interior in some old rocks
Wheres the general area yall rock hunt I love geods.. ect I have tons no big ones tho
Within 50 miles of Keokuk Iowa
CdC loving this video for new ideas
I like the rain in the background and your wood heater.
I find it hard to believe that water has been trapped for 350 million years. I don't think ppl actually realize how long ago that was, this rock was definitely not around when dinosaurs roamed the earth 🤔
If you got a taot for the crystal to drop into the water would be easy to collect.
God telling that water while it was forming in the rock “you’ll be unearthed in roughly 350 million years just hold tight” lol
Unreal. Super gorgeous!
Fascinating, Wow!!
His update next week:
“I’m feeling a bit sick today, can’t upload videos. Suddenly craving human flesh”
The audio makes me feel like I am at a chiropractor 💪🫀🗣️🧠💪🗣️
Do not drink the water, it is a time capsule of the unknown. 🤔🧐😳
Matrix is sooo cute 🥰
Loved those filled with water! Need to find someone to cut the little Montana one my best friend gave me.
You might be able to find a rock club, or a local rockhound to cut it for you.
I don’t know where you are, but if you were close I’d offer to do it.
I’m in Washington, so probably a little far 😁
I’ve seen some UA-camrs cut a rock for someone.
NJ
Yeah, they are so much fun to crack open, I’ve got to get back there and do more Geode collecting!
LOVE ❤️ 😍 more please
Was this what you collected Saturday? Very nice and very pretty geodes!
It was from the whole entire weekend, unfortunately, my phone got stolen and lost all that footage from that entire dig, 😔
350M year old water? The water in that geode is no older that the surrounding water it was found in . Geodes aren’t water tight.
FYI
Geodes are formed when there are pockets of air within rocks. This often happens after volcanic eruptions when lava cools around air bubbles. These pockets leave space for groundwater to seep in. But the water itself doesn’t produce geodes-it brings along minerals which stay in the rock even after the water evaporates. The minerals then start to build on each other to form crystals. It can take thousands or even millions of years for these crystals to form. The larger the crystals are, the older the geode is.
Weird question, what if you were to drink the water?
That water could hold some Discovery to science and you are just spilling it on The ground
Now i want to taste 350 million year old water, it sounds delicious
Wow so amazing geode
NEVER CUT YOUR EGGS.! ALWAYS USE THIS METHOD IF YOU WANT SOME BEAUTIFUL GEODES THAT ARE FULLY INTACT.! GREAT ADVICE.! ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHAT YOU FOLKS DO, ONE DAY I WILL MEET YOU, I JUST KNOW IT.! 😉👍😁🙏🤜🤛💯💯💯 MUCH LOVE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE TO YOU FOLKS AND MY INTERNET FRIEND PIONEER PAULY .!!!! 💯🙏😁
