Expect to be here awhile. Mostly adds seem to spawn instead of chests. It looks like multiple people can pickup/loot the chests though.

A World of Warcraft quest in Undermine. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
- Click Shifty Sand piles down on the beach
- If a treasure chest spawns it has a treasure in it (Treasure chests are shared with other players and don't despawn when looted)
- If a mob spawns you can just run, they don't seem to drop treasures
Helpful tip to anyone wanting to do this fast.
As soon as you finish digging up the sand pile immediately start casting your flight mount.
The mobs that spawn have a half-second delay before they can target you which lets you fly away pretty easily.

What to do
Description
You look like the type who ain't shy to get your hands dirty. Up for a little treasure hunting? Word has it that a ship exploded not far off the Kaja'Coast. Go to shore and see what the tide's brought in. "Finders keepers" is one of the foundational tenets of goblin society, after all.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
