dont have a clue what this is ?

[P@tch]

found this this weekend at the ..... well, I might get shot if I say where. it has the texture of leather, the center of it looks like glass and feels like wax but its not either, I thought it was a funny looking rock when I found it so I put it in m pouch and brought it home to check out. thinking a tooth...maybe

it doesn't sound like you're describing it to be metal, but the same formation happens when molten metal forms a blob on a flat surface and begins to cool (an air pocket will form on the bottom side)

 

[P@tch]

No its not metal. Just found while Detecting though

 

[tamrock]

Got me Maybe a piece of molten slag that took on that shape before it cooled or a fossil of some ancient sea creature

This is going to sound stupid, but...could it be old hard rubber?

 

[P@tch]

Don't know , that's as good as what I came up with

 

[trikikiwi]

I think it looks like a nut or seed of some type. Hit the Botany books.

 

[Icewing]

Maybe it's one of those outdoor 'Hide a Key' things for a flower bed.

Looks like a hot tub for little insects. I find tons of stuff I have no idea what it is but plenty of people with good ideas,Tommy

snashed bullet ?

Fossil? Maybe try the fossil forum? Interesting, I would have brought that one home too.

 

[Peyton Manning]

ummmm, artificial gonad?

 

[CladiatorMax]

A mystery WhatsIt! Looks molten. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it was attached to something using Goop.

 

[yaxthri]

Maybe it's a small or worn down fossil tympanic bone or a piece of a fossil bulla (Florida River Fossils Megalodon Dinner Giant Mammal Tympanic Bulla EAR Bone | eBay)...
You have lots of fossils over there in NC.
You should check with the fossil forum or go to a special fossil site like www.thefossilforum.com

 

[CoilyGirl]

Alien egg. Yep I'm sure of it.

 

[CRUSADER]

Just looks like a natural river rock to me.

 

[P@tch]

Thanks crusader but it's not a rock.

 

[stefen]

Looks like a Thunder Egg that broke open before it had time to form internal crystals...

That's another term for a geode...volcanic spit balls

The outside appears to have a brassy tone that I assume is a lighting effect...clarify please
