Wow, a man ginseng. That is worth it's weight in gold in China. You probably thought it was a turkey track pointing to the swift silver mines?

What is the going rate for that ?
$100.00/lb now ?

Last time I checked about $500. a pound sometimes as much as $1,000., after dried out. I do not think he just dug that one though because ginseng won't be up until April 20th or so and dies out around Thanksgiving or before depending on heat and humidity. It is illegal to dig until mid-September and in some states you can not dig anything smaller than a four prong top.

Heavy fines if they are caught.

Look in good RGB. I dug almost a pound last season in my spare time.
