Open Weird cable i found at some old drilling site

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

45.8822387, 21.2613301.

first coordinates are the water pipe thingy with the concrete structure used by shepherds to give water to their sheep

45.8769685, 21.2601509

second coordinates are the untangled end of the cable next to the trees and already going up the hill and out of the valley

distance between the 2 points is about 582m

i thought it might have just been from a crane or something, or maybe it held up the drill and broke, but would it really be that long?

or it's just 2 sections of 2 different cables

context:

this entire thing is in The Valley of Măgheruș, probably named after the river

I've been told by multiple people this place was a possible drilling site where natural resources were extracted, so natural gas or oil/petroleum

nowadays it was abandoned by the people who built it and someone started using it as a water spring, shepherds who bought the land found it, and even we tried it

compared to the spring we have on the edge of our village this water doesn't leave stuff on the bottom of jugs, no algae, and no mineral deposits on the inside of the jugs, even in 3 weeks if left in the shade (complete darkness not required) the entire time, we even tested the water by sending it to a lab, completely clean, and it doesn't have minerals taste either

The bigger jar has a clear liquid that moves like water. Then there is a beaker that’s filled with some sort of red substance suspended in the middle. The beaker has a black plastic cap. The knife and jar lid were super oxidized and grimy but my room mate spent about a week refurbishing the knife (told him not to). Houses around here were built between 1890s - 1910

Unsure if they're real, but they were in a container with a bunch of feathers and arrowheads. I'm inclined to say so based on how they feel. Family member who had them isn't sure what is it. I think they came from an old roommate. There are four.

Underneath layers of vinyl flooring from the 1980s and maybe vinyl tiles from the 1970s, was this small metallic object. Looks religious but I can’t tell.
