THE BATTLE OF CEDAR CREEK, VIRGINIA ~ FROM THE WILBUR C. BEDALL COLLECTION ~ An iron ring, typical of hardware used on equestrian equipment, which has been carefully preserved. This iron ring, typical of hardware used on equestrian equipment, which has been carefully preserved (measuring 1 1/2" diameter and weighs about .5 ounce), and which has been carefully preserved, was a part of the collection of Wilbur C. Bedall, one of the great and proficient Civil War relic hunters, and was identified as having been recovered from the Battlefield of Cedar Creek, Virginia. We have attached some information from a great website illustrating Bedall's history and collection for informational purposes. Bedall began collecting relics from his family farm in the Shenandoah Valley when he was just a young boy in the 1930s. In the 1980s he began using a metal detector to hunt for relics on various sites associated with the Civil War and was very careful to record the recovery location of all of his finds. The Battle of Cedar Creek, a very important 1864 engagement that was fought close to Winchester, VA, is known to history for the famous ride made by General Sheridan in an effort to rally his army after a surprise Confederate attack. A provenance letter will be included. We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are original identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information. All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic, and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the relics were recovered. We will not buy or sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally. Thank you for viewing!
