Ok, I’ve bought shovels, and I’ve got the keys. But where do I find the lost bandit chests?

I’ve never seen them.

Do I have to equip a shovel for them to show up?

Depends. They need to be uncovered so if someone else uncovers them you can find them by holding down the same key that makes nodes show a yellow label. (Left Ctrl is default). If none are uncovered near you, use the 2nd skill on the shovel. Lines will go out to any nearby hidden chests (will have a white beam of light above it). Stand by the spot where beam of light is and use shovel skill one to uncover it.

If shovel skill 2 doesn’t make the lines go out, there are no nearby hidden chests.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I believe you can only dig for chests during a downtime between events. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not all that big on PvE.

No, you can dig for them any time.

Also, you can see the where the chests are without using shovel skill 2 (useful as the white light markers are sometimes a little off) – look for a bump in the sand.

When someone opens a chest there is a red bullseye ping on the minimap, too, so you can take note of where it pinged and run over there, holding down CTRL to highlight the yellow name.

There are a number of chests in Camp Resolve itself. One by the archery range, one back in the Seraph tents, one in the archeological pit, and a few by the barracks tents to the south. They aren’t all always spawned, but it’s a safe area to test out shovel mechanics to learn them.
