Please help me identify this!

I'm not sure what I found. Definitely not a fossil after further examination. It is solid, non-magnetic and the bedrock formed around it. It is not bonded to it. It sets the metal detector off! The bedrock around it is a larger piece but weighs a 10th of what the ball does. Any opinions of thoughts are greatly appreciated.

welcome to treasurenet , try posting in the what is it section . I'm clueless but it's neat and would have picked it up too

Looks almost spherical. Get the weight and approximate the diameter ( put a box on opposing sides in parallel and measure between them) , or tape measure the circumference then it is easy to calculate a specific gravity estimate.

It kind of looks like it might be a geode of some sort… It's hard to say with the pictures and it could just be a ”hot rock” that’s causing the detector to go off. I personally would have to crack it, chisel it or saw it open…most especially if I thought it was a geode. The circular item is more dense than the other stone?!? Yep, I would have to open it!
Good luck with an ID!👍🏼

Thank you for the response. I'm gonna get a wet saw tomorrow and see what it hold!

Thank you for the response. It is 4 1/2 in wide when boxed. It is a sphere. When not sitting in the piece of bedrock that formed around it.

Yep!! Huge weight difference. Hoping for something great. A cool find for sure. Thankful I'm not the only one that would break into it.

Looks like two separate rocks that have been bored and pinned together. Possibly a metal dowel/spline inside.

Nope.. I found it on the mountain side while hiking. Not ornamental. Looks like it though.
