We Cracked and Cut Open BEAUTIFUL Kentucky Geodes and Agates On a Rock Saw!

I absolutely love the state of Kentucky and the rich mineral and fossil hunting opportunities that the state offers. We were traveling back to Florida from Michigan and had to spend a day in the state collecting a load of geodes and agates to cut open on the saw. It was a ton of fun, as always and we already cannot wait to get back up here and hunt more!

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.

I would say that it is an Aesculus x carnea "briotii" because Aesculus hyppocastanum has a light green bowl with spines.

@@DarioK04 You can't tell by the colour, they all have spines but the common tends to have more spines than the red, every now and then you'll get one with no spines at all which that one looked like, the only real way to tell them apart is the flowers common has white flowers and red has red flowers hence it's name, also the common is most commonly found in woodland like where they are, however the red is found in parks, gardens, and streets as it is a cross between the common chestnut and red buckeye and is grown in urban areas for it's colourful red flowers.

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.

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 .
