I am sure many of the public lands that are identified in the final graphic of this post are 'picked over' relative to private creeks, but fortunately storm events will periodically flush fresh geodes off of private land and out of hiding...in that sense I suppose late spring is the best time to go looking!

Late spring is when the leafs are on the ground I know the two best spots around Keokuk and you will not need a shovel they are just laying on the ground every were far as the eye can seee. Us Keokuk people just leave them be or use them to decorate flower beds .

That would be nice, to have so many geodes lying around that you can line flower beds with them. I bet your secret spots are great! Thanks for the comments!

If you do ever come here just let me know. I don't need all the geodes to my self
