Default Coal pieces in the soil

Laying some paving stones I have had to dig up some soil, that is full of
small bits of coal.

Can I use this soil in pots? Is the coal in it turning it acid or affecting
it in any substantial way as far as growing plants in it is concerned?
Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't use /any/ sort of soil in pots.
