Help! Another odd find

[NC field hunter]

I always find crazy stuff. A few weeks back, a civil war button, and today's find, you tell me. Is it a door knob? It looks to be made of sand stone, with a coating on it. It was found in a field that trade pipes have been found in. I also found artifacts today made of stone that I have never seen here.















The artifacts.











This stone is one I've never seen.

Maybe a socket for a bow drill to start fires. The artifact might be made of gneiss, or breccia. Hard to tell.

The stone tan color is chert or flint the lat pic is a kind of chert that is harder and doesn't flake the same as the kind we think of I read of the other flint that a tribe used in Europe but it has lots of square shaped breaks idk for sure

It appears to have a coating rather than a polish. I am not sure if its visible in my pics, but if you look in the hole, you can see the line where the "polish" ends. I think a socket would be polished really nice from friction created by the bow. Thanks for helping. I hope we figure this out

I am not sure about the candle holder. Every thing else you said, I agree. I am thinking door knob over candle holder because its a little wobbly. It would be easy to knock over, causing a fire. I surely thought I had found something before I cleaned it. I think I'll stop washing my finds! Lol!!

N.C.,
I smell what your steppin in, you have some really nice finds there.
I think the one in question is glazed and I would agree that it is a cabinet or door knob from the 1800's.

Door knob.

That would of been a nice find if the knob was whole. Now alls you have to do is find the door it fits too.

It's an old door knob. I have found quite a few of them on sites that have old house sites on them.

Did you ever get excited by one of these door knobs? I did! Thought I had a nice polished artifact. The venire on it feels and looks just like stone. Boy, did washing bring on a heart ache. Lol! Thanks Reap!
