Just a few miles from where I grew up one of my favorite riding spots for my atv's and dirt bikes was along the Santa Cruz river near Silverbell Road and Sunset Rd.
For many years there was these three old lime kilns along Silverbell we knew them well. Many times I relieved myself in those kilms while out riding.
One day while watching the History channel I watched a show called America Unearthed. I was surprised when I realized they were talking about artifacts found here in those kilms and the wash near it.
Two of the kilms have disappeared over time and only half of one is left. Funny how thousands of times I have been to that area and never heard of any Roman artifacts.
Anyways thought I would cruise my motorized bicycle out there. Kicked a few rocks, looked under a bush or two but I did not find any artifacts.
