I hunt for Indian artifacts rabidly in S.W. Iowa and S.E. Nebraska, but I always pick up stones that look different than the rest. I have some agates, jasper, and geodes I have found over the years and would appreciate it if anyone could identify them for me. Thanks in advance!

You have an nice variety of agate there. Also looks like you have some good jasper as well mixed in with the lot. The pics after the white banded agate look like a broken thunder egg. There are a lot of ways to describe agates, here's a link to a fair site for identifying types : Agate: The gemstone agate information and pictures

If you ever decide to cut, polish or tumble your stones you'll probably get an eye full of beautiful stuff there. That broken thunder egg would probably make some very nice slabs.
