Another Central Virginia Newbie

Hello, my name is Becky and I live just outside of Richmond, Virginia. My cast iron collection began with the requisite corn stick pan passed down from a grandmother, along with cast iron laundry irons, a weird 9x19 pan and art deco cast iron bookends. I have wanted a dutch oven for a while, and this want was refueled with a recent Lodge pizza pan purchase. This was my breakthrough moment, when I learned that if dish soap accidentally touches cast iron, it is not indeed “ruined“. When musing over my wishes to begin dutch oven cooking with my father, he gave me an 11” dutch oven he had purchased at an antique auction a while back, but had never used. My collecting follows what is sentimental, or what is useful. I don’t know what is valuable, or collectible (plus what may need to be rescued). I would like to know the back story on my treasures, however, as well as their replacement costs, in case marauders loot my home.
