Beauty!! Were you screening your concentrates for final cleanup or is that from pre-classifying feed material?

I didn't have the time to run all the material that I sucked up off the bedrock with my shop vac while at the claim, I screened everything through a 1/2" screen and brought it home with me. I ended up with about 20 buckets total, I screened it again when I got home so I could run the fines through my recirculating sluice. I found the nugget in the material is didn't sluice.

I actually do know right where it came from, just need more time to spend going there.
Pretty sure there are more, I did find a smaller one along with it but it was in the sluice.
