You all are amazing - thank you! There isn't a light in the spa though so I'm pretty sure the copper is from the old heater/blower that has been disconnected for a long time. I'll still be super careful and keep power off around pool just in case when I do further investigation. Unless it's...

Couldn't resist a silly pun :) Sorry pics weren't helpful but appreciate the response! It's a challenge to get a good picture but I did a little more digging to try to get slightly bigger working area and here's a simplified side view of what's happening, at least as I understand so...
