Answer and Explanation:
The chest looked ancient - I would have guessed some good hundred years. There wasn't much to it; no golden adornments of any kind. Its wood was dark, damp, and splintered, as if it were telling the story of every storm, every high tide, every humid summer it had survived. There was a sort of metal strap around it, with rusty little hollowed handles that closed side by side to allow the padlock to lock. The padlock itself was rusty and rustic, with a huge black emptiness in its center waiting for a key - the majestic old key I now had in my hands. I felt as if electricity were running through my veins instead of my own red blood, as if my brain could no longer contain any thoughts other than the curious urge to open that chest. I did it carefully, afraid to hurt my hands with the rusty iron and the splinters. Inside, there was nothing but a necklace. My heart thumped strongly, I would have heard its beating in a vacuum. I had found it, the golden necklace everyone believed to be a myth. I held it in my hands, triumphantly.
Note: Your question does not give much context about how or why those objects would be found. So I just made up some sort of story around it. Feel free to change anything!

How to avoid getting scammed in foreign (European) countries
Where to find tour guides to help you through your country of choice
Those are just a few that you said you needed. If you need more I may be able to come up with a couple extra. It's kinda hard though!
These are two different verbs: one means: to be positioned horizontally (lie) and the other to position something else horizontally, to put something down (lay)
They sound similar and have a meaning connected to being horizontal, that's one reason for their confusion.
Make sure you also don't confuse their past tenses:
Lay: laid
lie: lay
Yes, Lay is the present tense of one of them and the past of the other: that's the other reason for their confusion!
