The clipboard is not a place you can see technicallu. It's just a location in temporary memory where the last thing that was copied is held.
You can view the last thing that was copied, by clicking on an empty space on your desktop to bring up the Finder Menu at the top, and then on Edit->Show Clipboard.
This will show you whatever was copied last. There's nothing you can do with the item there however.
You can choose to paste it somewhere else.

ok, that is what I found, but what or where is the clipboard?? I have tried tons of ways to search and can't find it. I have never used 'the clipboard' in 20 years of using a MAC, so I feel kind of stupid, but, there it is!!

If you have ever cut, copied and pasted anything in any application
you have used the clipboard.
You can't find it because it is temporary storage for whatever happens
to be cut or copied. If you cut or copy something else, then whatever
is in the clipboard gets replaced by the new item.

That's ok. I know people who have never used 'the hard disk' also.
To the clipboard so that you can paste it somewhere else.
Well I'll be danged! Thanks for your help, esp. without the sarcasm others deemed necessary! 😁
You're welcome.
