The chest is buried in reasonably soft soil, and we can certainly get a few hours to dig it up, pick the lock, grab the item and get out, but we need to destroy the evidence of our theft. Piles of freshly turned earth are a bit of a give-away. We have a druid in the group, and were thinking of using Pass without trace to cover our tracks. But would this be enough to smooth over the buried treasure site after digging it up? And, if not, could anyone suggest another means to put things back the way they first appeared?

Bring a trowel and do your best to smooth it out. Pass without trace would remove YOUR tracks, but I doubt it would remove the earth that was just tilled.

See this is why I don't adventure with druids, paladins, or half of the clerics I meet. We tend to disagree on methods.
