Here is an example salt in hex: a2cdde9445d0c3e285cac24b0632b6df7d2c74c8
The salts are 20 characters long and are composed of random ascii characters in the range 0-255.
The example salt I have posted contains the hex value 0x06... This is a non printable character, herein lies my problem - I cannot write it to a file and have hashcat recognize it!
On the plus side I have written my own wordlist cracker in php (the language the salt was created in) that seems to work... But very slowly. Its a shame not to be able to utilize hashcat's speed and functionality.
