Event Description: Hunt Infor Liberty Hall Plantation in Culpeper Co. Virginia is holding its annual one-day combination natural & seeded
Relic Hunt
We will have thousands of dollars worth of relics seeded (or by token) on the property, plus the opportunity to find natural relics. This one-day hunt is a great opportunity to hone your metal detecting skills, have fun, and maybe score a valuable prize. Even though the ground is highly mineralized, seeded relics and tokens will not be deep so most metal detectors will be fine. On the 2023 hunt lots of natural bullets, coins, and buttons left from the civil war were found. The prize tokens will be scattered in two fields only for a chance at some higher quality genuine civil war relics, civil war reference books, and more. Additional dropped bullets will also be planted around the property. Prizes will be won using a double-blind method. All prizes will be given away.
The plantation was occupied by both CSA and US forces during the war. There are 2 cannon emplacements on the property (prob from 1863), as well as a large US camp presence (from the winter of 1864).
