They are still really dirty. That after washing thick mud.

Is it something good or valuable by chance? Or is it nothing special? I should clean the better. This house is old... Probably almost 100 years

Slate was, and still is a common building material . there's so much slate here in my area we even pave our driveways with it.

Welcome. I'd also say building materials. I have a bunch outside serving as a walkway.

Welcome to Tnet from Toronto Aedfors!

I remember my grandfather used to save pieces of slate in his basement that he would pick up at work... he was grave headstone carver.
He always said, "I'll find a use for them one day"... although he never did.

Looks like shingles off of a slate roof.
