A mysterious pile of dirt in the forest

"What's this? A pile of dirt? I wonder what's under it? I'm sure Jasper can lend me a shovel."

Step 2
Jasper is located at Jasper's Pumpkin Farm in Goldenhills Valley (X:118, Y:151). Speak with him to continue the quest.
A shovel? You bet I have a shovel.
Shovels get the job done
Here is a shovel, <Player>. I have a whole bunch of these so I don't need it back when you are done. Seriously, that barn over there is packed floor to ceiling with shovels. By accident I clicked '0' a few too many times when I was ordering shovels online. I have ten thousand shovels now. What were they thinking? That I was trying to set the world record for digging holes.

A crowbar? Sure buddy, you can borrow mine.
A nice crowbar solves all sorts of problems
Here is a crowbar. Bring it back when you're done.

Goal: Open the chest in the Smugglers' Cave with the crowbar.
Step 6
The chest will appear next to Rob. Dismount your horse and drag the crowbar in your inventory to the orange sparkles hovering over the treasure chest. Once you have opened the chest, speak with Bob to complete the quest.
Hey! That's our treasure! Rob, you said you forgot where you'd buried it. Good thing you found it again, <Player>. It's full of old returns we were supposed to send back to that mail order company. We don't earn as much money as we need smuggling so we do some extra work sometimes. For some reason Rob buried the returns instead of sending them back, so we lost that job. But let's see what's in it...
Look at that, <Player>. That's something for you, a high-quality bridle for your horse. It's yours for helping us out.
Goodbye.
