On his blog he mentioned doing a separate update on these. 3 scrub pine and 1 eastern hemlock.I agree but beyond all of that...do they really make good bonsai? ...show me some pics because I've not seen many, if any, quality Eastern Hemlock bonsai over the years...

Where is this?
For curiosity sake, and being somewhat local to you, who did you contact for permission to collect? Private or Public. Would love to start actively collecting in our neck of the woods.
My question too. I hate to be a nag, but I will anyway. If you're digging on public land without a permit AND digging eastern hemlock you're committing some mortal sins that can reflect back on those who follow the collection rules. Eastern hemlock is threatened as a species in the Blue Ridge and may be protected by Federal laws, not clear on that, though.
Wow....please don't attack these folks that want to express to you their love for the environment. Got many permit police on this site.... unbelievable! I enjoyed the pics, just be careful on those steep slopes.

Fair enough, Giga. I AM staying on topic. Since I have been labeled the permit police and a gross violator of human rights for suggesting that people actually understand what they're doing, I'll go ahead and say that researching species you intend to collect, knowing what you're digging is an essential part of collecting. The attitude that cropped up here that permits are silly and unnecessary leads to bad outcomes for all bonsaiists. Ignoring the issue doesn't help.

They're great trees for bonsai. I have a number of them collected from my lot.I agree but beyond all of that...do they really make good bonsai? ...show me some pics because I've not seen many, if any, quality Eastern Hemlock bonsai over the years...
