On Sunday, March 11th, Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park ranger Chuck Lochart saw three men – Fenton Terembes, Jeremy Burroughs and Vincent Williams – metal-detecting and digging relics up in the Spotsylvania battlefield. The three men were apprehended as they left the park by Lochart and rangers Craig Johnson and Tad Pultorak.

Their metal-detecting equipment and nearly 200 artifacts were seized. Over 450 excavated holes were found on and around park earthworks where the three had been digging.
