Looks like it could be a shatter cone. Clean it up...does it look like this? Gary

These have all been scrubbed, and they all have a nearly waxy feel to them. A few are even a bit tacky to the touch. Does that sound right? (Off i go to do some research on shatter cones!!)

Isn't Pilot Mountain an old volcano core? I live north of there in Virginia and climbed it when I was young {95 years ago)

Test for hardness. Look up 'MOHS' Hardness scale...gather some things to make a test kit...that should help you zero in on what they are and what they aren't. They look fairly uniform in substance...you should easily be able to do a scratch/streak test, too.

I feel silly for not thinking of that! Thanks!
