Description: 

In Harrumat diamond mine, that key is too hidden given the low reward locked behind it. I looked for 30 mins with a detect key enchantment on, couldn't find it and googled where it was as there is no hint other than it's 'nearby' which indicates it's in the cave somewhere. There's almost no way that someone would find it under the planks in a chest almost the same colour as the planks and floor as the box is only visible from a very specific angle.  I had a detect key enchantment on and because it's in a lockbox it doesn't show up. perhaps just make the key loose on the floor so if someone takes the effort to get an detect key effect, they can find it quickly.

Being in a box shouldn't

Being in a box shouldn't block the detect key spell, is that an openmw bug? It would be impossible to find without detection.

The key is as hidden as ever

The key is as hidden as ever (for people not using Detect Key) but at least the lock is normal now. Meaning people can actually pick it (it was technically already openable by magic, but I doubt anyone was aware) making the key less relevant.
