my camera sucks but its a rock thought was a tube pipe at first but no hole in it and the light shows flakes of gold color

I opened the photo and resized it. I hope that is not a serious offense.

Questions. Is it hollow? Is it metal or rock? Can you make a scratch on it with your fingernail? Does it smell badly? What shape is the opening, if it is hollow?

Edited: I see you answered some of my questions above. Sorry.

That is a strange looking thing, for sure. Hope you find out what it is.

At the same time, no matter how man-made a thing my appear to be, do not rule out the possibility of a natural object until proven otherwise. Here in Mexico we see some really strange things you would swear are man-made but they are not.

In this case, the shape at the small end seems to preclude natural. Otherwise the roundness could be natural.

Where is Harry when we need him?
