secrets of the waterfalls?

[NoRegrets]

from my friends to videos on youtube, waterfalls almost always have a hidden soom behind them, or a chest near them under water.  and on the topic of water i cannot express enough that skyrim is a map that is completely open, meaning nothing should be left to chance.  water, ice, stone, air, and fire, all of them elements have chest in them,  use flames on ice and sometimes youll find a chest in melting ice, stone: blast objects out of your way and find paths and rooms, air: more than once ive found chests floating, fire: inside campfires around giant lairs or hunter camps you can find chests in them or near them.  

 

 

are there places youve noticed chests are usually placed?

A lot of rocks coming out of the landscape that form a semi-circle have a chest hidden in the corner they make.

Theres one outside of windhelm on the right near where you find the wolf... Annnnd Theres another one by the mill near windhelm, follow the road up from the mill till you find the campsite, the waterfall there go behind and just left of the strongbox is a hidden chest, and a leveled battle axe, both invisible, should also be a heavy armor helmet there as well, the battleaxe should be enchanted.
