That was the morning ritual when I came downstairs in the morning. I'd stand over the kitchen register, letting the warm furnace air billow under my flannel nightgown. Mother would give me a tablespoon of that terrible tasting stuff, and hand me a small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It was always so good with the pulp added. And it washed away the nasty taste of the oil. I also had to take a spoonful of some blood building syrup that was also unpleasant. But I only had to take a teaspoon of that. In those days, we didn't have childrens' vitamins, so the cod fish oil was the best thing our mothers could buy. I didn't see childrens vitamins, until my sisters who were nine years younger, began to take the chewable type with the Flintstones figures. They never had to take Cod LIver Oil their entire life. Lucky them!

There is only one thing it can possibly be.
Your've probably heard of the expression "raining fish" and this is a very similiar situation.
The male cod as you probably know ovulates twice in it's life and these capsules are the direct result of it's effort. A hurricane or something similiar wisks these said capsules into the atmosphere and moves inland at an incredible speed and force. The capsules are dropped as the hurricane loses it's strength.
I have had the very same thing happen to me but I found mine under an old set of pants a previous girlfriend forget to put back on after we both got undressed in the garden to frighen off the foxes.

it doesn't matter what they are if they are eggs they are more than likely going to be parasitic on your garden, if they are plastic capsules they are probably very dodgy drugs not cod liver oil, just get rid of them - if you think they are drugs take them to a pharmacist and dispose of them safely, if you think they are parasitic eggs dump them in the garden of your least favourite neighbour after dark

They sound like the eggs of the Codling Moth, they will cause big problem, but they are a protected species. Under no circumstances disturb them, report to the pest people urgently

These are probably slug eggs - I find loads of them in the soil of my balcony pots. I grow most of my flowers in pots on the balcony as they are harder for the slugs to get at, but I still find eggs in the pots! It's a first floor balcony as I'm in a flat, though I have even found the odd slug in my kitchen! It must have come up over the balcony and then under the back door. I find slugs a real wind-up as they eat loads of my plants. I have a policy of not killing anything (I'm a veggie) so if slugs eat my plants I just don't buy those plants anymore. I'm learning through trial and error what they eat and what they don't eat. Below is a link to a photo of slug eggs. Hope it works.

Def snail eggs. Usually the kind that live in ponds. The eggs form inside the jelly and then hatch out. There you go!

The eggs you found are more than likely Slow worm eggs or dry newt eggs pick them up and put them under something in your garden.

Slug eggs

It sounds like earthworm cocoons. If that is what it is, they will be a yellowish color and be slightly bigger than a grain of rice. Under the t-shirt would have been the perfect place for the worms to mate and leave behind the cocoon.

It is probably some kind of insect eggs, maybe slug or snail eggs.You should get rid of them for the sake of your garden.
Hope you sort it out!
