Just in case you don't already know the ID of the copperbrass strip with non-slip "treading" on it, in your 4th photo...

It appears to be a component of an outdoor overhead electrical cable "strain-relief" clamp. I don't have a pic of one exactly like yours, but perhaps what is shown in the photos below are close enough that you get the idea. The ID-clues are:
1- the non-slip "treading" on the long flat strip,
2- the "ears" projecting from both sides of one end (sometimes both ends),
3- being copper or brass.

BTW, nowadays most are not copper/brass... you found an "older" one. I think aluminum is now preffered, as shown in the presentday version shown in the final photo.

Had no idea what it was thanks. Makes sense I found it in the area where it looks like a house was below the fountain area. Found cast iron stuff too. It's a hard area to work this place is filled with bottle caps and pull tabs.
 

Good Sunday morning, everyone. We're in that brief interlude where it's not hot enough for the air conditioner, nor cold enough for the heater. That makes for a very quiet house in the wee hours.
