After dying to the trapped chest, I proceeded to recover my items, which were about 6 blocks underwater, but only found my Sickle and Bug net in the area.
The remainder of my dropped inventory, which included my entire main gear, were nowhere to be found.
I'm confused. Is there something (a game mechanic) that I'm missing?

Welcome to the forums pordemoni!

A trapped chest includes multiple explosives and Terraria has a 400 dropped item limit. Combined, the explosives can cause enough blocks to break so that the 400 items is exceeded and the items you dropped are lost. It's not intended to lose items like this, so it's been reported. :)

It's a mo money, mo problem situation, I suppose.

Many thanks for the explanation sigma90!
