Digging Jinsang

After the american civil war, formerly enslaved african Americanans sold and traded jin sang to start building a new life. It became something that people knew about and could fall back on in times of need. Even to this day, jinsang is sort of a step stool to help some people in appalacha climb out of poverty. But as logging, coal mining and other jobs get harder to find,. more people are digging ginsing to make ends meet. And that worries ed about the future of the plant. We'll explore that just ahead. Plus, i head to the forest to see if an amateur digger like myself can strike green gold.
