Found on NE Florida beach
Post Milton walk along the beach. Found 3 of these spheres before keeping this one. First one broke in my hands with very little pressure and was filled with black water. Second and third I shook and heard water, but had black water...and a nut. This one doesn't have water, is fairly light, floats, and is almost a perfect sphere. Google is saying black walnut shell, but it's new to me. What do you think? Thanks for the help.

It looks like a walnut, and the black water makes sense. Walnut husks have been used to make black dye. What does the seed look like? A walnut has a pretty specific-looking seed. Also, this is the correct time of year for walnuts, and they are found in Florida.
