I'm brand new to the forum, but I've come here for answers in the past mooching off info I found in other threads. Anyways, I found a document on the fairfax county page and I found this line on page 58:
" Fairfax County parkland is particularly threatened by relic hunting. Without anti-relic hunting signage posted, Fairfax County police will not assist. There is no Park Police force to supplement their efforts."
In other words, yeah it's "illegal" in the sense that the parks have rules. THe only problem is, if the signs aren't posted, then they can't legally enforce the rules. Take a look at the rules posted at park sites and use your own judgement. Frankly, I'd take the risk. The wording in these documents is BS when they try to explain why relic hunting is bad. They say it takes these artifacts "out of context" and "eliminates a non-renewable resource." That's crap, what the hell kind of good are the artifacts gunna do underground where NOONE can see them and NOONE can enjoy them?
