"box" is metaphorical...

I Agree, it's an egg
I could easily be treasure where the "box" was built whilst the "gold" was inside

wouldnt be much of a riddle if you take so literally...
Defs a blonde chicks "box"

There's no lid just put your hand in and take what you want
It also says hid, it never says how do you get the treasure though.
I vote for egg.
Others could be:
* Sandbox with yellowish sands
* Box Spring with gold treasure hidden inside
* A bucket of KFC
* If the riddle maker meant to be blonde box etc, it shall be discouraged. We would like to keep this space clean...
* Thank you, ladies and gents.
have you guys ever read the hobit? its got to be an egg.
He/she's right. "Riddles in the Dark" chapter, Bilbo Baggins and Gollum. It's an "eggsie"
it is an egg because a shell has no lid , the yolk is golden, but you can not see the golden yolk treasure because it is hidden.
Ok, I think it could be a cat-box. with kitty litter in it ... and a fat piece of crap that is a golden color. The golden "treasure" is hidden underneath some kitty litter.

I don't care to read what others have wrote.
The answer is an egg, you find this out in the story "Hobit", prequel to the lord of the rings series.
shell= box, yolk= treasure, egg whites= the stuff to hide it in.
i say its a big brick of gold cause gold is still inside it doesnt clarify if its solid or not
