Report: Fairly substantial placer workings accessed by the Berry's Meadows trail which starts from the Eureka mine (after 1 mile, take left fork; right fork goes to Wilson Creek). There is a cabin in poor condition. The surrounding colluvium has an altered and iron stained appearance. This placer is basically in the middle of nowhere. No hazards.
