possible markers found in Utahs great salt lake desert

[LordSoros]

I was out wandering the desert of western utah when i came upon this ring of rocks. It was around 10 feet in diameter had no sign of fire use, and had 2 rocks not from the area stacked in the middle (pictured), the top rock seems to be arrow shaped. 100 yards from this circle hidden behind an outcropping i came upon an old post with a can nailed to it. The rock outcropping also seems to have an interesting pointy shape on the top left. 50-75 yards from this first post, further up into the hills, i found a second post but with a larger can nailed to hit. I tried grabbing the can and it fell apart in my hands.

I am 100% newb to treasure signs. As it was these signs that have begun my journey into the hobby. Is it possible i have found some markers? Also, any utahns? i'm looking for a partner.

Metal detect around the area! It's looks like an burial plot maybe by indians. Check the history of the area. Personally i wouldn't dig up graves though.

Check a map to see if this could be close to a Section Corner. I left 100 small circles of rocks around survey points in central Tx. in the 70's. Makes them easier to find when you come back. 100 plus year ago, a surveyor might have done the same thing. 10' is about the size you'd need to set up a tripod and walk around it without bumping it. The posts could be the actual Corner. Then again it could be some sort or medicine ring. Good luck.

Post with a can probably a mining claim marker.
