- 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.

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.

Where to go

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.
