Given to me. Told it was found in S. America but I am not sure if this valid information. Has slight magnetic pull/push. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Agree with the Swed, as it being an iron concretion formed right here on earth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion

First, not a meteorite. It could be a man made ball, used by different Indian tribes to play games.

Someone here found one of those in Texas, I think it was, the other day. Its probably real, in my opinion. Ball games were big among the natives in Latin America. It looks like its been worked to get so round like that.

While meteorites are typically metal, contrary to popular belief, they are usually non magnetic. A true meteorite will also have what is know as a "fusion crust," a glass like surface that results from the heat & pressure of entering the earths atmosphere. The round shape is definitely interesting & a closer picture will help better identify what type of geology you really have. However, it's def not a meteorite.

Just noticed the larger picture, and noticed the surface. Compare what you have to pictures of confirmed meteorites. You'll find they are very different. Now Google 'iron canon ball' images. I think you will be surprised what you see. There are a variety of reasons why a canon ball might be magnetic. If the texture is what I think it is, a gunsmith familiar with black powder will be able to give you a definitive identification about your treasure.
