The grave itself can be found in the northwestern part of your map. In your GPS Tracker, this location is marked with a purple icon.
Assuming you’ve made your way there by following your GPS, you’ll want to keep an eye out for a cross made out of wood on the ground, as that is where you’ll find the shotgun underneath.
Once you’ve managed to find the grave, use your shovel to dig. Keep digging until the coffin is visible and then break it open. Inside, you’ll find the shotgun being held by a body. Simply press “E” to obtain it.
That pretty much sums up how you can get the shotgun in Sons of the Forest. Now that you have it with you, you can choose to use it for yourself or give it to Virginia if you manage to make her your companion.
