I hike a fair bit. Once I and a hiking buddy were in a fairly remote location and found, standing in amongst tall trees, a standard issue office supply cabinet. It had no leaves or other debris on it. It looked like the obelisk from the 2001 movie.

We called out to see if anyone was nearby. No answer. Curiosity overcame me and I tried the handle. One door swung open and the thing was filled with several thousand dollars worth of photographic equipment, lenses, camera bodies, tripods etc.

We left it untouched further but I have no idea how or why it got there.

My dad was a Hump pilot in the China-Burma-India Campaign. A particularly nasty Nationalist Chinese officer insisted that dad's C-46 carry back a piano he had “confiscated” to safety in India, backing out more useful material. Five minutes into the flight, the cargo door came open and the piano went out in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Sounds to me like you made the right decision.
