Really small.

Stand alone chests in beach biomes could be sometimes found under only a block or 3 of sand. They could be either wood or stone, the wood ones sometimes being double, and would most likely be from some merchant, pirate, treasure hunter or explorer who wanted to hide some loots, but never got around to recovering them.

The loots would be rather good, (whats the point of burying a chest for an ingot or two of iron?) consisting of rather large quantities of iron, gold, silver and money. Bones, mithril nuggets and equipment could be found rarely.

This idea would also work well in combination with 184.151.37.176's Story Time suggestion. The diaries/logs/autobiography's of the previous owner would be a great addition to the treasure.

How common would they be you ask? I'm not sure exactly... I kinda've want to say they should be somewhat common, as they would be hidden well enough that players probably wouldn't find them normally, and would most of the time just pass right over them. This would also encourage a new activity in Middle Earth, "Treasure hunting," (randomly digging up sand in a beach in the hopes of finding buried treasure.) On the other hand, the loots would be good enough that this could be greatly abused. I guess you guys should tell me how common you think they should be, and why.
