Metal detector experts and Archeologists are working together for the Montpelier Archaeology Certificate Program hosted at James Madison's Montpelier Estate in Orange, VA.
Participants receive training in both classroom style sessions and on the grounds of the Estate to learn how to conserve and catalogue finds as well as utilize metal detectors for plotting and surveying finds. Following the week-long session, participants will receive an Archeology Certificate.
