I'm in the Nashville area, I can tell you from experience, that no one's giving up their favorite hunting grounds.
Paganmans correct, get to know how it looks in all stages of growth. Read and learn about its requirements for growth.
When you do find your patch, do not tell anyone where it is. If you do, theres a good chance that when you go there again, it will be gone.
I've looked off and on, nothing serious. I've found some, but nothing I'd get rich on.

Sorry I'm not from Tennessee but,,,my Grandmother was from Kentucky. She used to hunt ginseng. She was pretty good at it too!
You need to know what it looks like at its different stages of growth and the conditions it likes to grow in, then start your hunt, generally near or in a woods.

good luck trying to get someone to give up their "shang" patch...american gensing is highly sought after in china as it is a better grade...400 a lb. or better...

Maybe I'm wrong, but Ginseng is from Asia....Not Tennessee. If you find it there, could it really be wild if it's not indigenous to that area? Your best bet would be to just go ahead and buy that little packet you see on the Shell station counter.
