    I would say it looks like something I had for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel once. I wasn't sure what it was then either.
    A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.

    Is it heavy or light for it’s size ? Looks like a big chunk of coal.

    Well if your like me to keep something since you were a kid and survived your mom trying to clean out your room every now and again. It would have to be something harmless.

    Its one huge Paper Wasp Nest.
    “You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.

    He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

    If it's the size of a football ...
    and if it's not very heavy ...
    and if there isn't a hole in the end on upper right ...
    It looks a lot like the Coconut I brought home from Florida ...
    inside a fiberous husk you will find the coconut shell and meat .
    Where the husk / nut was attached to the tree is on lower left of photo .

    So My Guess , if light in weight ... is an old Coconut with husk still on .

    Looking at it again , it could be a Bald-Faced Hornet nest ...
    the lower left appendage in photo could be the tree limb it hung from .

    Guess #2 ... if there's a hole in the upper right end ...

    Take it to a museum or university with a paleontology department. They will tell you.

    First glance , I agree with Greg, Horseshoe crab shell. But, I'm from the shore, so what do I know.
    Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

    A large gord or pumpkin or squash. But why would you keep one since childhood. Won a prize with it at the county fair?

    My dominatrix girlfriend has one of those, but I've always been afraid to ask her what it is.

    Lots of great wrong guesses so far!
    It weighs around 15 lbs give or take 5 lbs...
    Here's a different view.
    I'll give the answer later tonight if no one gets it right. Forgive the dirt, it's been sitting on the ground for decades....
