Hi, I'm a gold prospector/fossicker from NSW Australia & recently unearthed this powder flask while detecting for gold.
I've given it a wash in water but otherwise not done anything to it. The reverse side is somewhat more "crusty" than the side pictured.
It is split around the middle of the front & reverse, is missing the loops for the cord + lid.
My question is would it be worth restoring (even as a decorative or conversation piece) & is there anyone recommended in Australia that would carry that out?
Cheers Matt
