I've posted something on the iEra wall but i'll post it there too so SNK and the developers can actually see this.

My idea is basically a easy but still fun idea.
When you dig you have a slight chance to dig up a treasure chest or a time capsule.
_______________________________________________
(X + 100 (where x is the average amount of players online) : 76% (the chance the chance to dig a shell) : 37% (the chance to dig up a wild crab) x 23¼% of the whole gmap with sand x 2/4% of the whole gmap with dirt which comes out to 6,7% chance to dig a treasure chest or a time capsule
_______________________________________________

TL;DR: You can get a 6,7% chance to dig a treasure or a time capsule
When digging in sand you can dig for a treasure chest.
When digging in dirt you can dig for a time capsule (that box what you did with your parents, put it in the backyard and open it after 20 years)

The Treasure chest will contain various items, such as hats (golden crown, tiara, oyster etc.), weapons (pirate hook, harpoon, revolver as example, also new weapon idea's), ET coins, money and more whatever the developers disere.

The Time Capsule will also contain various items such as hats (flapper cap, robotic hat etc.), weapons (Mauser 11.15 x 60R (rifle), .36 Navy Colt (revolver), just any old weapons what the developers and/or GFX staff desire),
ET coins, money and more. (maybe you guys can think about it?)

Some of the items can only be obained by using finding these chests that contain random items, to make it alot more fun and suprising what you will get.
These chests are dropable.
And what makes it so fun, that you don't know what you will get!
Sometime you'll get loads of items maybe 2 hats!
When your unlucky you'll get like only money and shells...

Conclusion. Be lucky!

Thanks for reading and i hope this gonna be a real developted idea!
Wouldn't that be awesome, no?

EDIT: Just an idea, you could get also collective items in these chests you get.
Items that you can give to a special NPC so you can reclaim a reward(s).

As example;
I'm digging for shells, suddenly a wild treasure chest appear.
I open it and found some gralats, a pirate hat, shells and a pearl (which is one of the collective items).
I'll go to a special house with a room with rewards, each reward can be obained by getting different collective items. In this case, If you give the pearl to the NPC in the house;
You can get a rare hat (as example).  

I like the idea of digging chests or capsules up, but I don't think the staff will go for the items you are requesting inside. I think a special coin should be inside, worth like 100-200 gralats to be sold at shell shop. Instead of oysters, what about pearls? I just think it'll be too easy if weapons were put in there. I do like the idea of a free hat.

Yeah ik, but they're just suggestions.
And that's why i decreased the chance to dig up one of the chests or capsules.
I think it it's great to have weapons in it since it will get the players to actually try to get one of those.
And the chests or capsules doesn't always have to contain good items.
Maybe you'll only get shells and money?
Just be lucky what you'll get inside.
thats what the idea behind is  

I like it...  

Really Neat Ideas!  

Yes, amazing idea. snk needs to see this thread ASAP  

I like this idea, I've actually been hopin for them to add something of the sort for awhile.

Thanks guys for the support, and yeah i've wanted this to be developted ages ago xD  

Wow. Awesome idea, I think more treasure-like things should be in there though, not guns and such.
+Rep  

Yeah, thanks.
And yes but those were just simpe suggestions.
I'm sure if this idea will ever be developted, the admins come up with better things.

Hmm, maybe there should be a special house where you can bring the items you've found in the chests.
Like you can obain collective items and give it to a NPC and you can claim a reward(s).

And when does SNK actually reads this?  

I like the idea- but I've got other things planned for next summer :{  

You plan so far ahead. snk for manager!
