Wild Ginseng / 50+ yr old root

« on: October 27, 2014, 01:34:34 AM »

While digging in a small patch of woods close to my home here in east tn , I happens on (as I was about to go in) a small three prong top. These woods are VERY old mind you. Anyway after digging down (with my hands only) through 8/10 inches of loam. I came to the longest neck of curls I may have ever seen. After another 8 inches of rich soil I extracted a small root that after I counted the scars was 52 yes. Old. It says on the net roots this old are extremely rare. What kinda price could I expect for such a root?

I guess a lot of growers/diggers would say a person who believes such things needs a psych evaluation but as a sceptical person I can't ignore some of the mystic/supernatural aspects I've witnessed in the woods. Coincidence or not , on the hillside where I dug my biggest sang this year. I happened upon one giant blacksnake. His head snuggly imbedded in an old log. As he was within striking distance of a beautiful four prong plant I had just spotted , I relocated him and proceeded. This not the only instance of legands being manifest on hunts. The Cherokee , for those who aren't aware , said the plant had magical powers and could make itself invisible to unworthy seekers.
