Now that is a CRIER!!!!!!ORIGINAL: Bent_Twig
Also dug a little hillside dump recently while ginseng hunting that someone had beat me to years ago. Stuff ranged from the 1840's to the 1920's I knew something was up pretty quickly when I noticed all the pontiled pieces on top of the screw tops. Everything was outta context. Here is a picture of a real heartbreaker. Pedal Jar. There woulda been some killer Pontils in this little dump.

Yeah thats what i was thinking when i said wierd looking insulator they normally dont have a big hole on top lol.[]ORIGINAL: JOETHECROW
It does have that insulator shape, but depending on the depth of that top indent, most insulators were made to shed rain and snow, and that would probably hold water and freeze and perhaps break? That's what made me look at it other ways..
Thats what i thought at first but like JOETHECROW said they normally dont have a hole on top.[]ORIGINAL: deenodean
Put it on the ' insulator ' forum...it sure looks like an insulator of some sort but I know nothing about them. NICE COLOR!
Hi Todd,ORIGINAL: toddrandolph
Hi bent twig, I'm also in northern ohio. My job gets me out in the woods on an almost daily basis mostly in the Akron and Cleveland area, and I can say that ginseng is quite rare here. I rarely ever see more than a few plants together in one place. Not quite as rare as undug dumps, but it's hard to find. I would encourage you to not just replant the seeds but to leave some plants undisturbed to ensure that the population is not eliminated.
