cdowell, I actually live in Floyds Knobs. I have some land in Harrison Co., Palmyra to be exact. I know most of Floyd Co. is terrible for ginseng... Down around New Albany and you are wasting your time. However, if you go to the Knobs you will find some very nice ginseng. Some of the best roots I have ever dug have come from Floyd Co. Now, the area you are talking about down around Laconia seems to be dug out. I won't even go to Elizabeth anymore because it seems like every time I do it is a waste of time. Well, good luck hunting.
