My guess is it's a clinker. Partially melted rock from burning coal.
Though it could be a meteorite.

A friend of mine found this a few inches below the ground's surface by

It's somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball and
weighs about 1.5 - 2 lbs (maybe a little more) and gives the
impression of being metallic, but doesn't appear to have much iron in
it, as a magnet doesn't stick to it.
Someone else thought it might be a geode, but didn't know for sure --
the heft made him think it probably isn't. So, I figured I'd ask all
the smarties in PDML if they had any thoughts.
Anything?
Thanks!

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthly search.
