This is a back garden approach for smallish quantities - I think the clay produced will be quite basic but mouldable
You need to have a clay rich soil / heavy clay soil. Dig down a few feet to find the better stuff. If you put the lumps of soil in a bucket with lots of water, the clay particles should go into suspension when it has all melted in.
The organic bits float on the top and the rocks and grains sink to the bottom.
Carefully pour off the clay rich water into another vessel and leave it somewhere warm / covered to evaporate the water off - It is possible to speed it up by putting somewhere warmer. When it is at the right consistency, I put it in a plastic bag and it kept moist and usable for over a year.
A ground up rock and boulders in a hard stony clay is commonly referred to as gravel or rocky clay soil.
A coal miner is the individual who extracts coal from the ground. They work in underground mines or surface mines to extract coal for energy production and other industrial uses.
The name of a hole used to extract groundwater is called a well. Wells are drilled or dug into the ground to access and collect water from underground aquifers or water tables.
Shale oil and tar sands are among the hardest fossil fuels to extract from the ground. They require advanced extraction methods such as hydraulic fracturing and mining, which can be environmentally destructive and costly.
The device used to extract oil and gas from the ground is called a "drilling rig" or "oil rig". It is a large structure equipped with machinery and equipment for drilling wells and extracting oil and gas from underground reservoirs.

it can that's what a mud mask is but like regular clay from the ground does not work
