[Spoiler] Box in Mayor Lewis house

[Ereo]

Does anyone know what exactly ends up in the lost & found box?

I read it's for unfinished quests.

But I had a chest on the island, and apparently someone walked through it. There was different stuff in there, including some bait, trap bobbers, jewels and fruit, bone shards, farm totems...

The only thing ending up in the lost & found were the farm totems.

Stuff in a box that goes bye-bye just sits on the ground. Question is, How long until they disappear? I think they last one full day but not sure.

According to https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Version_History#1.5 (spoiler marking mine):

Added lost & found box in Mayor Lewis' house. This can be used to retrieve items donated to failed special orders, lost quest items and tools, items from offline players, hats from children that have been turned into doves, and items left behind in the Stardew Valley Fair grange display.

Hm, that means the farm totems count as tools I guess. Interesting.

I guess i won't spoiler with the following. 1.5. added additional quests. Some of them have two parts: A) Gather something (fresh, not from your storage) and B) store it at specific deposit. I guess you will retrive those items if you didn't finish the quest and only partially store them there.

Yes, I know that's what it's for. I was just wondering because it only returned one of many items from a destroyed chest.
