The mechanics have been designed and implemented, and so far its all working nicely for the player to dig up the chests when they find them (demo vid a few posts up). I've scripted it so that any actor can use them as long as they have a shovel in their inventory, so you should be able to command your followers to do the hard work if you want to (come to think of it, I still need to test this and confirm that this part is in fact working)
