Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland: Pirate Treasure Chests
You might have dug up some blue treasure chests while using the shovel. This is pirate treasure. You can open the chests by playing the upgraded Bone Ocarina. You get the upgrade after you help out the pirates on Gooey Swamp (you have to get to Mount Desma first before you can board their pirate ship on Gooey Swamp). You can play the upgraded Bone Ocarina to find the treasure chests, it'll respond when there's a chest in the square of the map that you're standing in. After you dig up the chest, play the Bone Ocarina again to open it.
