From the March 22nd Progress-Index "Relic hunter to serve time in prison."
John Jeffrey Santo, 52, was sentenced to a one-year-and-one-day term in prison, then three years of supervision and must pay $7,356 in restitution to Petersburg National Battlefield for taking lots and lots of items from it.
Santo, a resident of Petersburg, admitted to digging illegally at least three times between 2009 and 2010, but a diary he kept discovered in the house search showed he had done so at least 122 times over five years.
Officials found 8,515 bullets, 47 fuses and 11 shells or cannonballs in his 1,100 square-foot home.
Sure Glad They Caught Him. --Old Secesh
