SChestclosed
    icon='Treasure Chests.dmi'
    icon_state="Closed"
    Click()
        usr<<"<b>You found your shield in the chest!!"

Click()
src.Move(usr)

Use that.

After it tells the usr that he has found his chest try using usr.contents += new /obj/My_Shield

Simple! Just create a new /obj/shield in the usr's inventory. Using usr is correct in this example. If it's not, the reference needs fixin' :)

Here's an example of how to use new():
mob/verb/your_verb()
   world << "[usr] made a new rock!"
   new /obj/rock(usr) // make a new /obj/rock in usr's inventory

That world output is just to fill the verb up a bit more. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

Of course, you'll have to deal with making sure the player can't get the sword more than once. I'll leave that as an exercise for you :)

Good luck.

PS: Thief jack, your example is wrong because it's got incorrect syntax (mis-use of the new() proc), and Super16's example will move the treasure chest into the player's inventory.

I think Thief jack's version will also work. There are several syntaxes for new, which tends to be pretty forgiving. Still, new /obj/shield(usr) would have been my choice.
