Welcome! Hard to say with melted metal.
Where'd you find it?
I know the metal blobs I've found were either from burned down building materials or burned autos.

No this was in a state park in Florida, not a building in site for 35 miles at least. And it was so far under the ground i dont see what else it could be. Pluse my metal detector said iron and well lol it was all over the place with this find. I may take it to the local university to take a look at it, they should know what it is.

What sort of state park? One with an old military fort, like Fort DeSoto (near St. Petersburg)? It's hard to tell what was there earlier. Up here in Virginia, at Prince William Forest Park, I'm always finding pieces of slag on the surface (I've never detected there, I don't know if that's legal), probably part of an iron smelting operation, since I can also find samples of pyrite there.
It definitely doesn't look meteoric in origin...

Looks like it "could" be a bullet head... maybe
I've dug out old bullets at shooting ranges and they look similar.... sometimes... depending on what they hit....

Possibly part of a space craft / Shuttle ... isn't Kennedy Space Center near Florida?
