i think thats right because sea tutles go to the sandy beaches, lay their eggs and leave. The eggs get covered in sand I think. So i your granfather was right

Painted turtles are not like the huge sea turtles that bury their eggs in the sand. You could have kept them in the cage, but unless you have a male and a female turtle in the cage at the same time, these eggs were not going to hatch anyway. A male has to be there to fertilize the eggs. If this was the case, then the eggs are most likely damaged, but you could try to save them.

You should try searching online about painted turtles, and how to care for eggs. I know that sea turtles bury they're eggs, but I don't know if it goes for all turtles.
They might not even hatch because, a lot of times, animals can lay eggs, but without a male around to fertilize them, they are basically useless.

You should have left them there, it shouldn't do any harm.
