Description:Wilbur Bedall was a prolific digger who found lots of great projectiles. In many cases he masterfully re-fabricated the sabots and I think that's what he did here on #123. Still, there is a lot of value in these projectiles:
#123 is a bolt for the 2.6" diameter bore Wiard rifle. It was recovered at Freeman's Ford.
The other bolt (#99) for the 2.6" Wiard was recovered at Port Republic. #36 is bolt for the Wiard rifle that smashed on something hard and broke its nose. Its recovery location is unknown.
The 3in case shot shell is a nice one that was recovered in Piedmont.
