A friend of mine found this a few inches below the ground's surface by a
tree in his yard:

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?
Just a SWAG (emphasis on WAG) - Chondrite meteorite. Maybe?
If no one here recognizes it, you're bound to have a nearby college
geology department.
