Peculiar stone

[beau7johnson]

I found this stone today near a small steam in the smoky hill river region of Kansas. It's extremely heavy and has a slight magnetic pull. It seemed very out of place amongst the seemingly stoneless stretches of farmland. Any ideas or answers to what this is or may be will be appreciated!

That kinda looks like one I have and can't ID. Mine is heavy as lead but does not respond to my detector in all metal.
Mine is possibly a CLINKER.===========
noun 1. a mass of incombustible matter fused together, as in the burning of coal.

2. a hard Dutch brick, used especially for paving.

3. a partially vitrified mass of brick.

4. the scale of oxide formed on iron during forging.

5. Geology. a mass of vitrified material ejected from a volcano.

Never thought of that fifth possibility but all very interesting GA Boy.
