As well as the remains that could be found in a coffin, other items might be found inside as well. Here are ten different things that could be found in a broken open coffin.

1. Broken, once sealed pot that looks to have been emptied of something.
2. Cradled in the hands of the corpse inside the coffin is a chalice of blackened silver.
3. Crowbar, chisel, hammer and small spade in a cloth bag underneath the corpse.
4. Hidden under the remains is a dagger that still bears what appear to be bloodstains, perhaps a murder weapon hidden in the coffin.
5. Inside the coffin is the projectile that killed the occupant; it looks as if it was inside the skull until the body decayed enough.
6. Leatherbound diary, somewhat stained now by proximity to a corpse.
7. Scroll case tucked into the coffin’s corner. Inside it is the last will and testament of the occupant.
8. Small bag containing dried herbs, seeds and bones, with an occult symbol embroidered on the outside.
9. Tightly tucked into the coffin, next to the corpse that was clearly its intended occupant, is another body, one that has been bent and broken so that it fits inside.
10. Two sets of manacles, one for arms, one for legs, that look as if they may have been on the body.
