Vingtage Spur & IMPERIAL Relic On A Very High & Steep Stream Bank

[Wildcat1750]

I thought I'd try my luck inching down a very steep stream bank with an almost 45 degree slope. Now I know what a mountain goat or a haggis must feel like. Most of my targets were concentrated in one area from top to bottom with a liberal dose of .22 cal slugs and shell casings to keep me busy.

A curious assortment of finds included:
Vintage Spur
Pocket Watch Chain
Tiny Flat Button without a shank
IMPERIAL "Relic Thing"*
Rim Fire Shell Casing
Droppings

*My research tells me that IMPERIAL made syringes but this would be a very big syringe if it were. There is still wood inside. Perhaps this was a primitive type of plunger? Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for Looking.

Thank you, Digger RJ! I will most likely be posting Qs to 'What's It?' about the IMPERIAL relic and the age/type of the spur...

Imperial ski pole tip.

Interesting idea, rodgerdodger. But it might be a bit too chunky for that, plus it is 6" long. I was thinking along the line of a tripod leg maybe?

Nice hunt, congrats!

Thank you, Professor! There are no known cellar holes around so any finds out here are random drops or in random concentrations. This slope was near a wide running brook with some crossings here and there...
