For a Female cone we use 2 ball bearings of different diameters, dropped in the hole.
Then trig the angle, depth of balls, etc.
it's pretty simple once you have it all drawn out.
Yes, the ball idea sounds good, but there's a subtlety that must be addressed.
The circle of contact between the ball and the cone is not at the horizontal center line of the ball (assuming the cone is standing on its apex).
Contact exists on a plane defined by the points of tangency between the two surfaces, which will be below the center line.
Since determining that location exactly requires knowledge of the angle of the conical surface, and that's the parameter being measured, you have a circular relationship which cannot be simply solved.

It can simply be solved, if you have access to a parametric CAD package
