I have not found anything embedded in clay, as it is just too thick up here. I have found on occasion targets below the top sand or gravel matrix, sitting on top of the clay, but not in it. My guess would be that any ferrous oxides would sink and concentrate on the top of the clay layer, giving you issues with depth and possible ID readings not being as accurate.

That's my experience, too - the clay tends to stop the goodies. As a former potter, I can confirm that clays often have a lot of ferrous/iron content as well. Not to mention the joy of slip-sliding around on the stuff, and trying to walk with a 4" thick layer on your boots is always entertaining...
