Hunting Geodes - Steemit Embedded Video

in travel •  6 years ago 

Eagle Eye and I took a day trip to Hamilton, Illinois to look for geodes. It was a 3.5 to 4 hours trip one way so we saw more of Iowa. Well, we saw corn fields and cows. We enjoyed spending the day together away from technology especially the internet.

This video documents our adventure. Just two adults playing outside getting dirty. Good thing we wore our play clothes.

Thanks for watching!

Pretty cool finds.

Thanks and thanks for watching!

Most welcome.

ha! very interesting guys! that was a fun day but sorry you didn't find any beautiful ones, the conditions were right for them to be there though? Is Eagle Eye a geologist or something?

He's a gemologist and the conditions were right, but the location is well known so it's picked over. We were hoping with all the all rain this year, the water would have uncovered some. Thanks for dropping in. You ever go prospecting for anything?

squirrelbait..does Eagle Eyes work as a gemologist full time? I don't even know what a gemologist does! lol. not I never went looking for anything.

Gemology or gemmology is the science dealing with natural and artificial gemstone materials. It is considered a geoscience and a branch of mineralogy. He has a full time office job right now with the medical benefits he needs. Never too late to become a prospector my friend!

oh ok well squirrelbait are geodes worth anything? I'd probably prospect for gold.

Geodes can be valuable depending on what's inside. Amethyst for example. Yeah I can see you panning for gold. 😎
