Liberty Hall Plantation in Culpeper Co. Virginia is holding its annual one-day combination natural & “seeded” Relic Hunt on.
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 2021 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).
Hunt Prizes
This year’s relic prizes being considered are a GA Frame buckle, U.S. Buckle, Eagle Breast plate,
U.S. Box plate, U.S. Sword belt plate, Carbine sling buckle, a VA coat button, and an Eagle “C”
coat button. Also, several books including two highly sought-after relic books yet to be released.
