Awesome treasure chest! :-D Love the modeling and the multi-texture. The only crit I have on the model is on the lid texture. Wouldn't it be better to have the lines of the "wood slats" be horizontal (or parallel to the front of the chest), instead of vertical (parallel to the sides)? That way, it looks like it was made with straight, parallel pieces of wood instead of curvy pieces of wood, if that makes sense--I'm not sure I explained that well enough. It's great the way it is now, but I think, in reality, wooden chests would be made the way I described. Not that it's important--from the second render, it looks as though that particular detail won't show up in the final image anyway. As for the second image, I would bury the bottom of the chest a little in a slightly square mound of sand, so it doesn't look like it's just recently been placed there but has some sand creeping up the sides (like you have on the cave entrance). Awesome work overall. Can't wait to see the final.
