Rock hunting at Jacob's Geodes

This past Saturday, my sister and I, went to Hamilton, IL to hunt for geodes. We found quite a few in a few hours and brought them home to crack open. It was a chilly day but a lot of fun!
Crossing into Hamilton, IL from Keokuk, IA

The area I love to hunt

Two geodes, almost side by side.
My first Crack is a good geode

Table full of good geodes. I normally put them in my flowerbeds
