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.

Topic: Strange Coin Currency: Currently only for Xur to gain exotics I'm adding a farming section for strange coins. I am curious about this topic as every time I see a video we post, the poster has a crap ton of coins, while I live week to week gaining coins. If I'm correct regular strikes pay out at least one strange coin per finish. I haven't done much on normal lately so I'll update as I find more stuff. Some videos you can find are pre TTK. Before the video posts, break down all of your blues and you will see some turn into strange coins and motes of light. The first video I'm posting about this, well it's painful. I have a hard time following him, the poster is hard to follow as he talks low, then screams, then laughs. My impression of him is a white dude from California trying to be black. But if you can follow him he has a useful spot to farm at least 10 per hour.

Should any of my 360 buddies wish too, I'm game to run this all night. I'll keep updating this as time goes on.
