Is it the same for dropped items?

Like what if i wanted to hide a rare item before going to cherno would it still be there until server restarts?

1 hour for bodies to despawn i believe.

Yea for bodies it's until the server restarts as for items on the ground I believe I read that it's 15 minutes but in my experience it's until the server restarts as well.
