Incredible 80-Acre Unpatented Gold Mining Claim – South Yuba River

Exceptional 80-acre unpatented placer mining claim on California's historic South Yuba River, located between Missouri Bar and Humbug Creek in Nevada County.

The property includes a seasonal camp setup: 12'x24' wood platform, 10'x20' covered shelter, spring-fed water piped to outdoor sink, refrigerator, sleeping tent with queen futon. Camp sits 80 feet above the river with incredible views. Excellent for panning, sluicing, and highbanking. Hike-in access ensures privacy and undisturbed gold deposits.
