Help with find

I posted help for treasure catche hunting.
Some of you metal detecting pals I have a question.
I am hikeing and metal detecting up toward a rock peak and have found stapples possibly from wood boxes used by gold mine minners in that site area.
Do you think this is a good indicator. I found 3, each a foot deep and a foot away from each other.
A neatly stacked small wall is there to box in some boulders.
I am going back today, possibly to check under where the wall is built.
Any ideas or answers?

I've not prospected. But heck, search it! If you don't, you'll always wonder what might have been there...

Thank you "okdiggermark" for the reply.
I went to further search the site but I heard a vehicle pull up and a dude was checking out my older Mercedes benz and from the high peak I had to cut my trip short to hike back down. This transient person said a mine claim owner asked this dude to watch his claim.
(But it was getting freezing by the creek and nobody comes when it gets dark.) So I have to get back there again. Till next time.

Well, have fun with it and find some gold!

(I returned to the site where I found stapples and the search was cut short by a guy with dig hanging around my older mercedes the day before.)
As I said: It is by a over night camp area in the woods, he gave me a story of being paid to watch a miner claim and would stay until the ranger would tell him to leave, he did not pay for camping.
The guy had a van he was sleeping in with his pitbull. This dude asked me about my knife I had on, a katana short (samuri). I also had a survival knife for the local mountian lyon or bear. I then left.
Today I came back and found around the rock hill where I was looking for burried gold miners stash, I found a deer trail which brought me to another creek which is secluded and I ran my detector finding fence wire and a gold plated earing and 1800's square miners nails,(5 count.) and a large "Hot rock". the permafrost is present and dusk starting I was going to leave. Before I was gone I checked around a camp rire ring and low and behold, I found a "choke-wire weapon" with red soft plastic handles, factory made. This is the comando type used to remove enemy personel used from behind.
I picked it up and took it with me. I think if it belonged to the guy I was chatting with, he had second thoughts about messing with me. He was right, I have had training as well as some in town spread rumors of me being a retired cop. (I am only a family man). I'm going back and I have been searching for a lost gold vein in this area,
what I like is it is not picked over to much. (We got to find the mother load! lol) later.
