Have you ever considered that in our culture, sand often symbolizes time? This is not only because sand was used to fill hourglasses in ancient times, but also because desert sand perfectly preserves old buildings and other objects abandoned by people many years and centuries ago.
People often travel through deserts, despite the sheer difficulty of survival there, and sometimes they make the most incredible discoveries. From artsy statues to abandoned diners, from rusted car skeletons to whole forgotten towns – here’s a brilliant collection of such discoveries, especially for you!

#48 Chest Found In Mojave Desert
My friend and I were searching around his property with my metal detector when we came across this. It took a while to get it out, but there was nothing inside the chest except that it was filled to the brim with dirt. In the dirt were a few plastic flowers.
We thought it was a coffin at first, but it's too small, and it was unmarked. I think it may be the past landowner's chest, but I don't understand the SS markings. And the fact it was full of dirt. Why would someone bury a chest full of dirt?
