Funny, yeah they look like normal concretions to my eye.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion#Cannonball_concreti...

I grew up near cannonball river, things like this are all over. High iron content too because of water. I even have a version that looks like a cube but its just shale inside, paramagnetic too but thats due to water processes according to a geologist I talked to.

I'm not convinced it was made by people until you crack it open.

Exactly - scroll down to the bottom on this page and you'll see concretions that look almost like the one in this article: https://www.dmr.nd.gov/ndgs/ndnotes/concretions/concretions....

There's a beach near where I live that's littered with thousands of perfectly round, hand-sized stone discs, presumably created by some special wave and/or ancient glacial movement there. I'm pretty sure someone thinks it was aliens, though.

That Wikipedia page lists Zavidovići as a place where these things are found - which is the location in Bosnia described in the article.

Not a new addition either, the overall Bosnia reference has been there since the article was expanded from stub in 2006 and Zavidovici itself has been listed since May 2007.
