Filled bottle to 30% soil by eye and the rest water.

First pic / Got the first result which to me is around 60% sand, 30% silt, 10% clay. But looking at some posts here it doesn’t look that right. (The bottom part should be sand, middle looks like unbroken silt/sand, and the top is the silt)

Saw somewhere that separation might be better with some soap, so add a drop and shook again and now looks totally different (second pic).

Second pic / Now the level of the solids has increased and now its like 60% sand, 40% silt, barely any clay

Up for any suggestions, assuming this was ok done what is this result (going with the second pic right?) Sandy loam? Loam?
