This short forum is about gold chests, key chests, and finding dead ghosts. To save time a lot of Youtube vids will be posted here.
Gold chests differ from normal chests as they have set loot. They are also limited to five, currently, to each planet/moon.
Earth → 5 total
Moon → 5 total
Venus → 5 total
Mars → 5 total
Dreadnaught → no gold, but several key chests
This set loot is based off of the time/level you should of found these. A max level toon will not benefit as much from these chest as a level 3-15. Two items a max level will get out of finding these now: (1) Strange Coin and (1) class specific sparrow. You get the coin on Mars and the sparrow from Earth.
Below is the video from Youtube that is very well done. If starting a new toon this would be good to watch so your toon can benefit from these chests. The creator uses missions to go and find these chests and his logic makes sense by using quest markers, but I will note that all, but maybe one or two can be found on patrols.
One would be the last chest on the moon. You will have to do the strike to get into boss room, as this is the only time it opens. But it is quick and painless, 15minutes with a good team.
On Mars one chest is located in the subway area. The mission takes you right to it, but if you are like me and patrol for it, it will take some time. One silver lining to this is I had the Vex ultra and champion bounty the day I went looking for this chest and the outer court of the subway has five of these guys and spawn rates are high. Not to also mention the Taken were attacking and I was able to fulfill that bounty as well.

Edited by chucklenoris: 10/9/2015 1:50:20 PMStaying on the Dreadnaught for todays talk. It seems a lot of people are asking about the key chest. How many, where, how, and loot? Welp first there is a lot of info on this topic. I will try and link stuff here and edit when I can. I do believe there is a pattern to this. Again this is subject to be edited. 1 → Key Chests have names, you need that key with that name to unlock it. 2 → There are what I call, "Slot Machines", one is called a wormsinger, this requires a wormsinger rune. The runes can be collected off of Hive enemies in the Dreadnaught. So far it will drop anywhere, but it is said to have a better rate in the Court of Oryx. 3 → activating a rune in this machine will trigger a Hive attack party. They spawn close by and you need to kill the group leader for a "chance" at gaining a Wormfeeder Rune. 4 → Complete the task that the rune has to it. This is typically a get fifty kills without dying and then it turns into a random key. I have linked a video to this that is a basic all round way to find this stuff. 5 → Find chest and use key. What chests can you find?
