Looks like an ornate ramrod guide or thimble from an old muzzleloader rifle.

Yes, they were made of wood, or at least some of them were.

I believe you are right just gonna leave it for a little while before I mark it solved. Thanks

Cool find!

I think Sarge is right. At first I thought it was a lightning rod spike.

Nice find. And pre Civil War, maybe as old as the Revolution.
