Jerome Cleopatra Hill copper camp

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Arizona · approx. 34.75, -112.11 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Bitter Creek draining to the Verde River

What turns up: Steep hillside copper camp trash tumbled down Cleopatra Hill: tooled whiskey fifths, beer and soda bottles, Chinese and saloon ceramics, mining and smelter hardware, and household glass in the terraced back lots and slide debris below the town.

Access: Gray area.

Bitter Creek and the Verde carry contested navigable water restrictions; the town sits on private and patented mining claim land needing owner permission; surrounding Prescott National Forest is federal ground where disturbing sites over 100 years old without a permit is barred.
