In Shovel Knight what's special about the sparkling pits?

I see these pits on a bunch of level that sparkle, and I've jumped down them a few times and always die. There has to be something special about them or else they wouldn't sparkle. Any tips on those? Feel like I'm near the end of the game and have just left a bunch of treasure.
