Digging there will reveal a wooden coffin with a dead worker inside. The worker is holding a shotgun, which you can loot and use as a weapon. You can also loot the GPS Locator from his body, but most importantly, you’ll want to grab the shotgun. There’s a good chance you’ll have some ammo for it at this point in the game. And if you don’t, you’ll eventually find some.
