Hello all. I'm a new guy to the forum and new to Ginseng harvesting and want to make sure I'm looking for the right stuff! Could someone take a look at the photos below and let me know if this is Ginseng and if not what is it?

Thank you.

Not Ginseng. The only thing close is the red berries and I think that is jack in the pulpit.

Top two are Buckeye's; middle is Jack in the Pulpit; bottom two are Virginia Creeper. Remember that ginseng has a succulent stem, not a woody one.
