"Why Is The Retaining Wall Like This?"
Answer: "Those are tieback anchors with their pointy end covered. They go long past the back of the wall and likely into some rock somewhere behind the retaining wall. They are there as reinforcement to prevent movement of the wall over time"

Not for a half-gallon juice can, but a 12-ounce can of beer before there were pop-top cans.
Commonly called a "Church key" in the '50s.

Harman,
They are indeed used to open half gallon cans of juice.
I learned to use one 50 years ago to open cans of tomato juice

Cornelius, I still use one to open cans of evaporated or condensed milk. Also, 50+ years ago soda cans didn't have ring tabs either, so you needed a church key to open them, too.

# 11, I don't think that's Marcasite. Marcasite has an orthorhombic crystal structure which is nothing like the photo.
