This little guy has come into my husband's office twice now. He keeps putting it outside. But should he? We want to know if it is a native species as we've never seen this kind before and Google is giving us multiple answers. If so, what areas are safe for him to live that we could take him to if needed/allowed since he seems to prefer the office 🤣 Meaning, should we drive him out to the desert... Or could he bring him home to my food forest so he could thrive versus the parking lot office he's currently in.

I live in San Diego where I've been struggling to grow things in my yard. Turns out there's a ton of rocks in my soil and it seems nobody has ever really dug here before... Today I uncovered this unusual looking pottery. It is very rough on the outside and slick on the inside. It's unlike any pottery I have seen in the store... Can anyone determine if it is something I should try to save as I dig further? If there is a better sub, please direct me. I'm quite curious. Appreciate any help!
