chief of interpretation Chris Bryce said Saturday that park officials are inside the method of assessing the damage. He said there have been a number of places where the ground were dug up in advance this week.
Petersburg national Battlefield is a 2,seven hundred-acre park, approximately 26 miles south of Richmond, that marks wherein greater than 1,000 Union and confederate squaddies died preventing during the Siege of Petersburg 151 years ago.
There are some of locations at the battlefield where someone has gone in and in reality dug and upturned the soil by way of several inches, Bryce stated.
regrettably, he stated, people will now and again cross into countrywide parks or to battlefields and dig up relics searching for buttons from uniforms, bullets, artillery shells and other historical objects.
They often promote their loot on-line due to the fact there is a marketplace for Civil conflict relics.
