In my area (CT), I get everything from clay to beach sand on the fields. I simply use the standard plate brush and cut the bristles so that there is about 1 1/2" left. This makes the brush stiff enough to deal with damp clay and pliable enough to work quickly. Also, the bottom of my plate shoes work to get the bulk of the mess off the plate after a slide play.
