"Oh my god," one of the two friends could be heard saying in a video as they pulled the chest out of the ground. Inside, it was full of dirt, along with some artificial flowers tied to a nail. To date, they still don't know what it is, exactly, or who it once belonged to. Neither do experts.
"At first we thought it was a pipe, maybe a water line or something," Eaton told SFGATE. "We just kept digging until we could open the chest, and we opened it, we saw the big SS symbol, and we freaked out."
They pulled out their pickaxes and started digging. Slowly, they began to unearth a corroded metal box resembling a small casket. When they flipped it open, they saw two crimson runes emblazoned on the side.
But they picked up their tools anyway, and began wandering along a barren-looking trail. At first, they didn't find anything out of the ordinary, just the usual array of loose screws and cans. Then, they heard a resounding beep.
