I dont even know what to say

Yeah, it's pretty wild what you can find in treasure chests. And I've found more than a couple exposed to the elements in my current run. I think you're more likely to find them in areas with jagged terrain, as they are generating off the idea of a flat plane and then their edges get exposed.

But I checked against the list on the wiki, which could just be incomplete, and they have definitely updated some of the stuff in them. I found an iron hammer when I was still in the copper age, and another had a chandelier and 8 candles, another had a hecking resonator!. All I can say is that while you can get a few duds now and then, treasure maps are definitely a worthwhile investment if you've got gears to spend.

@EnbyKaiju Thank you.  I tried the treasure maps when introduced in 1.18 and after three that only had clothing items or other meh stuff gave up on spending the gears.

I'll give them another go thanks to your post.

I hope you find some great stuff! And if you find a few less fun chests now and then (I think the worst I got was a granite spear but even that made me laugh so I consider it a win) don't give up! You could even make a trophy room or lost & found store of all the weird stuff you find that isn't entirely useful

As far as I'm aware this is still accurate, but here's a chart going over all the possible buried treasure loot tables that I made a while back for anyone curious. 

 

Spoiler

In my eyes "candlemaker" is probably the best one to find, followed by "machinist" and then "royal" (two guaranteed high status clothing items is cool!)

This is fantastic, thanks

Feels like you've got everything, I can't think of any I've found that had other than these though I've opened more this run than I have in all my previous games put together, haha.

The Alchemist one saved me a bunch of work when I was making up some Jonas tech, but all in all I love how random they all feel, and how even in the late game they are worth having a dig around. I'll be keen to see if they add more in the updates to come.
