Pounded gold flakes are possible due to gold's ability to hold tightly to itself. One ounce of gold will make a tiny wire 37 miles long. Gold can be pounded thinner than a sheet of fine paper, translucent even. The flake could be quite small and produce enough area as to make it seem MUCH larger in size.

How do you tell if the flakes in the silt are gold?

To determine if the flakes in the silt are gold, you can use a gold pan and water to pan for gold. Gold is very dense, so it will sink to the bottom of the pan. Swirl the pan to wash away lighter materials and concentrate the gold flakes at the bottom. You can also use a magnifying glass to examine the color and shape of the flakes closely - gold flakes will have a distinctive bright yellow color and often have a flattened, irregular shape.

A rough estimate for a vial containing about 1-2 grams of gold flakes might range from $50 to $150, depending on current gold market prices. For an accurate valuation, it's best to weigh the flakes and check the current price of gold per gram.
