I'd say the vast majority of the crud that is trapped in the filter 
originates in the block.   The casting process leaves a lot of crud behind, which 
breaks free as the years go by, and then circulates through the system, 
potentially plugging up part of the radiator.

Having said that, I don't have any filters on my cars any more, due to 
suffering filter failure twice on my GT350.   Yes, it worked great trapping 
debris (a shocking amount of debris in fact), but when under heavy torque, it 
worked its way out of the hose and jettisoned all my coolant all over my 
freshly detailed engine bay, my enthusiasm for it waned quite a bit.   I figured 
it had done most of the work it was going to do, and kissed it goodbye.
