Grab a phonebook or look online for delaers of sand, gravel, rock, pebbles...the type of stuff you see landscapers use. There are a bunch where I live in Baltimore, MD. Anyway...most if not all will let you take a pickup truck load full of sand or dirt (filled with clay) at no charge as long as the only equipment you use is a one man and a shovel. I don't know if all will let you do that...but I've been to three of them around here and its the same deal. They won't let you load up with anything expensive...and you can't go making multiple trips or anything. I put in a pond years ago and loaded up with sand and dirt from them. It might be the area I live in but the dirt is full of what I assume is clay...packs nice and hard. You can usually tell if a place will let you haul some away if they have big piles of it outside when you pull up. The three places I went to had them piled up in a big area. Piles of different types of soil, dirt, sand, pebbles of all colors...pretty much anything like that. They only let me take the sand or dirt...no free slate. Another good source of clay is a quary. Did I spell that right. I've greabbed clay from them many times.
