Please help me identify these eggs / nest

[Bubbaloo]

After doing some gardening yesterday I found a fairly large clump of what looks like eggs,in the soil of one of my beds,and haven't the foggiest as to what it can be.
Have uploaded a couple of pics to my profile,so if anyone could help me out,that would be great,thanks

no idea but we had loads of them in the sand box last year.

i think they could be slug/beetle/spider eggs as that was about all that could get into the sand box but could be way off the mark

yep... slug eggs

Thank you-I knew someone on here would know.
Reckon I'll be over run with slugs now-yuck!

in the summer evenings we have hordes of huge clack slugs all over the garden.... it's like a scene from an alien invasion movie

Beer traps or a pair of scissors after dark!

Oh no,I couldn't use scissors.
I got dh to shovel them over the fence in to the alleyway,where the foxes live.
Strangely enough I didn't feel too guilty

They look huge in the pic,are they really quite tiny? I am slightly scared at the size of slug in your garden if the eggs are as big as they look.

They are quite big,which is why they went over the fence
A friend of mine thought they may have been spiders eggs and tbh that scared me even more!

bubaloo: they are terratorial! They'll come back!

spider eggs are very very small,as they hatch out as teeny "spiderlings".Unless you live in some lord of the rings type sub-world then I don't think they could be spiders.Slugs do have a homing instinct,but luckily for you that will be to where they decide to hang out once they hatch.I would have kept them in a tank and waited.........

Thanks hellymelly-I'm rather relieved that they probably aren't spider's eggs and hoping that having 6ft fences,the baby slugs will be too tired to slither all the way back into our garden
