I thought this community might enjoy seeing the layers i found while digging a pond in my yard. Depth is about 2 feet.

You have 3 layers there:
An Ah - the black topsoil
An Ae horizon indicating eluvial processes
And a Big horizon - you've got redoximorphic features called mottles.

Textures looks pretty heavy; I would guess clay or silty clay
