I'm excited for you, TEC! Brings back good memories of 2015.

Like you, I saw plenty of red clay on the property before buying. In fact, a whole hill! Unfortunately, the red clay turned out to be iron oxide: Red, yes, but not clay. Would not hold water.

Fortunately, we dug around creek bottom and found good gray clay about 4 to 6 feet down, so it all worked out in the end. But be wary of identifying clay by the color.
