No idea... 2 Whatsits... stick-like thing with metal tip and some sort of cap?

[testing123]

Picked up both pieces at a local swimming hole...

#1
Measures about 7 1/4 inches long and about the thickness of a pencil. The metal top is sort of like a tube that you slide onto the stick. Not sure what the stick is made out of. First I thought it was wood, but it sort of looks/feels like a ceramic or even bone-like material. Any ideas?

Item two looks like it was a cap of some sort to a pole, not sure to what though. It's pretty heavy, but the ball is hollow. maybe a copper or brass...

Thanks for your help!

First thing is part of a tent pole.

It's the joint of a fishing rod.

Yea, I also thought BOTH tent pole or fishing rod - is it fiberglass?

I also agree with the hames tip.

The last item I believe went on cow/bull horns (as a form of protector against being mauled).

Seeing as these were found at a swimming hole :P I would also go for fishing ferrule, the last picture could also be the the butt protector from the bottom part of the fishing rod
