GEODE FEST 2018 Highlight Video (Keokuk, Iowa)

We travel to the Keokuk, Iowa area for the three-day Geode Fest 2018 (September 28, 29, 30). Geode hunters, rockhounds, and mineral/crystal/fossil vendors came together in Hamilton, Illinois for three days of digging, cracking, contests, and rockhound fellowhip and fun.

Geode hunters were given special access to private and public dig sites all across the tri-state area. On Friday and Saturday, there were both morning and afternoon digs, and one morning dig on Sunday.

In addition, professional geode crackers were on site to help reveal the hidden treasures, and several contests were held, including Ugliest Geode and Best Geode in both youth and adult divisions.

In this video, we also meet up with Bryan Major, better known as "The Crystal Collector" and he shares insights about collecting geodes.
