Salida, CO: Arkansas River railroad and smelter town

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Colorado · approx. 38.53, -106.0 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Arkansas River

What turns up: 1880s to 1910s saloon, brewery, druggist, soda and mineral-water bottles and railroad-hotel china in privies and riverbank fill behind the historic F Street district

Access: Gray area.

The Salida townsite is private and the Arkansas bed is not open to public digging, so riverbank work needs the adjacent landowner's consent; nearby open range is a mix of BLM and private land where century-old sites are federally protected.
