TOPIC: New digger with a couple questions.

New digger with a couple questions. 10 years 1 month ago #32137

Hello yall. My late Grandpa used to dig lots of seng and I've seen it dried when I was young. I am new to this as this is my first time going at it. I have about 70 roots and because of work I only get a few hours a week in the woods.
I have concentrated my digging to 2 places so far about 15 miles apart. The first place the roots were darker in color than the second place. Is that normal?
Second, I have dried about 50 of those roots in an outdoor shed on a screen I took off an old screen door. All of them dried kind of a brownish/golden color. The other 20 I have in the house in a spare room on paper towels. They all dried quite a bit whiter in color. Is that normal? And which do buyers prefer?

Thanks.

Roots take on the color of the ground they grow in. Darker is better for the retail market.
