That slate is such a pain in the ass. But if its giving nice stuff like that, makes it worth effort. Nice gold, looks well travled any idea of source? I thought the stuff from your claim was more course? Maybe im thinking of something else
 

Looks like it went through the press.
 

Well, it gets coarse, about as coarse as coarse can get...

I honestly don't think it traveled far.

There are numerous stringers and seams...mineral pockets.

Working bedrock that the old timers roughed up, below their bench diggins..that was most likely a decomposed contact.

Found punch plate with inch holes in it.

I believe gold ends up in the slate and gets shaped and pressed.

Some stuff a long time ago. Some stuff that was spilled when the area was worked.

Because the source is right there pretty I've got lots of cool shaped pieces.
