Keokuk area. Try doing a search for Keokuk geodes. Can't remember where I hunted right off the top of my head. I do know that that wasn't handicapped accessible. I do know I was in Hamilton, IL. Just over the border, I heard he opened up a new bed. I havn't been there so I can't comment on that. The digging was pretty easy in a soft shale clay. Hope that helps, Jim

Here is a web site that has a list of Gem and mineral clubs in Iowa
http://www.rockhounds.com/rockshop/clubs/iowa.shtml
some may have their own web sites with places they take field trips to, this should give a good start for rockhounding and metal detecting.
Keokuk, Iowa I quess has a place that you can go after geodes Not sure if there is both free or fee areas or either or.
Good Luck
Dave

I am very interested in knowing if anyone lives in Iowa and has some hot spots. I have been to www.mindat.org and found what minerals are in the area, and I have left a message with University of Iowa Geology Department.
