Picked this up today detecting a stubble corn field. Not a rock hound so I dont know anything about them, seems an odd shape for a rock. Not oddly heavy or light. 102_8661.JPG102_8662.JPG102_8663.JPG102_8664.JPG
 

Does not appear to be worked on any surface or edge...

Need a pic of side view...how thin?

Place a coin for scale...

Thanks

Also, file a little window into it. Not saying it is, but it might be a meteorite like the one that struck Washougal, WA.

Any ideas? The shape baffels me! Not the natural shape of a rock???

Well, it is a granite. Granite boulders do tend to get a roundish shape in certain conditions.

The pitting is quite typical of granite that's been subjected to weathering for some time.
