Help needed to identify white 'balls' in field

Hi,
I wondered if anyone can identify these please...
Recently, I've been finding clusters of small white balls, (about the size of those silver ones u put on cakes that break your teeth,) in my pony's field. They seem to be coming up from the soil and start as tiny,transparent fluid filled balls, go white and grow but then open and disappear!
They only seem to appear along the fence line when I've moved it back and the grass has been eaten dow. I've never seen anything like this last year or before and I'm worried incase they are harmful. There was only 1 cluster about 4 wks ago, now they're everywhere.
Any thoughts please???

Slugs or snails eggs I think. Put some in a container, check daily and you will soon know which it is when they hatch.
Yes, slug eggs - I've got them in the longer patches of grass in my back garden too

late to this one, sorry
What's the green thing that some of these are in, what are the white balls on?
My first thought was one of the slime moulds from appearance and your description
