[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 667187, member: 4012"] It's possible those are typical of a particular location and source of gold. Some places are known for orebodies with wire gold, which can look a bit like a bunch of golden wires, thick or thin. There's also leaf gold, which occurs in a thin, papery form. Your pieces may have originated as either of these, before the action of running water and abrasion broke up the gold and over time flattened and smoothed the resultant fragments. [/QUOTE]
