Found this Metal detecting any clue what it is?

[BenFrankOG]

Found in Northern New Jersey. Very light weight, not magnetic, found in an old colonial town right alongside a river bank. Roundish shape, slightly bigger than a baseball. Was picked up by metal detector, not my eyes.

Thanks

This is a guess. A worn out pumice grill cleaning stone. Small flecks of the grill top may have set off your detector. They look like this new.

Thanks Kray for the response and welcoming!

I think you have graphite. Very light stones and you can write with it. I find them in lake Huron and some are huge. Yes my metal detector picks them up also.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard BenFrankOG! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - You might consider posting your pictures on WHAT IS IT? for more exposure...

Welcome Ben! Interesting find.

I'm going to take a long shot here, but the only thing I've ever seen that looks like this is heavy crude oil that has picked up sand and debris and bound them together. There's a name for that but I can't recall it. Does it float?

Best wishes!

Doesn't float. I should have mentioned the rock(?) appears to have small sparkling flakes on the outside of it. Thanks to all who have answered!
