I found this yesterday in a plowed field in SW Pennsylvania. I was on my way to check out a section of the field when I got a signal on my metal detector and realized the signal was from this rock. When I picked it up, it was unusually heavy so I figured I better take it home and check it out. The thing that concerns me is there are a few voids on the surface indicative of slag, but this doesn't look like any slag I've ever seen and I don't know what it would be doing in rural farmland. This piece is magnetic.
I've posted this on the meteorite forum, but only got one response indicating that it might be Basalt.
Here are some pictures from all angles.
