Anyone know what it is? I found a patch of it at my place last weekend. Can't find anything on the googles.

Thimble berry? Not sure on the spelling on that.

Oh man, you're right, Mike! Thanks! Funny thing is I read about goldenseal last year when I was buying ginseng seed but didn't pay much attention to what it looked like. I never thought there'd be any growing wild up there.

Pretty cool stuff. Looks like goldenseal fetches about $25 / lb dried.

Most diggers called it Yellowroot back in the day.
