TOPIC: How much did you dig?

I thought I would break the silence.

I dug about 1 and 1/4 pound this year. Not nearly as good as last year.

How much did you dig?

My grandson and I dug six pounds dry. Still got it. Good size and age. Seems like here in southeastern Ky. Good quality ginseng doesnt get respected.

I dug 12 pounds 5 oz. Sold 12 pounds, kept the very best of the lot which are the really long necks with good rings and bulbs. I know that 5 oz. is worth a lot more, but don't know for sure how to get a fair price for it.

I dug 6oz of seng,10pounds of yellow root,and 4pound of bloodroot.

lenno,
That's a good haul. Hope you had a nice thanksgiving and with Christmas not to far off you've got seng money for presents.

lenno,
Congratulations on a nice haul this season. Would like to talk to you about it, but I can't access your email account. If you get time, please give me a call at 423-586-6198. I hope you get every penny out of it that you deserve.

New member here. Took digging more serious this year as I had the time and dug 1.75 pounds. Most I've ever dug. Didn't get started til around the 10th of September or I feel it would have been more. It gave me the bug so I ordered 10 lb. seeds and 10 lb. of rootlets off of this site. There went my seng money and then some. Hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew.

I dug 8 lbs dry and my partner dug 7.5 lbs. Two great yrs in a row.

I got to go on 8 hunts this year.. some of them were short ones.

Ended up digging 52.2 oz green... and it dried out to 16.4 oz.

Sold it a couple weeks ago at 635.00 per pound.

My son dug 1pound 10 oz this year he wanted a fourwheeler and i told him if he would help earn the money i,d make sure he got it so last week we finally found a good used honda rancher and i helped him buy it .he only got to hunt on weekends because of school i was surprised by how fast he learned where to look and how hard he hunted i hope the lesson of if you want something the only way to get it is through hard work and earning for yourself sticks with him for life
