Don, just a question out of curiosity.

whats the most wild dry root you've ever bought at 1 time from 1 hunter.....and what is the average weight root hunters usually bringing in ??

I have another to add to that.... I am new to ginseng and goldenseal. I see in the magazines that goldenseal is at about $25 a pound. Based on the history of the root is that up, down, or about even with the price it historically has sold for? Thanks

Foxkidd the most I ever bought came from back in the seventies. I bought 35 pounds from 1 man. Understand there was no season on root in those days and this guy due from the time it came out of the ground until the time it died off. The biggest root I ever bought weighed 3 ounces dry. The average root weight is around 3/8 of an ounce give or take an 1/8th of an ounce. I buy a lot of 5 to 10 pound lots of Ginseng and some that get close to 20 pounds. I would say if you averaged out all the 4 and 5 ounce lots with the 10 to 20 pound lots, probably a pound would be average.
Dirthole 90, I am paying $30.00 a pound for nice clean dry seal and $7.00 a pound on nice dry green colored top-s. I can use all the seal root and tops you can get me. I could probably help on your shipping to me. You should be able to ship it for $1.50 per pound.
