Maybe no loose treasure just lying around, but the wealth of Moria was in the

loads of Mithril 
). Since the Balrog drove them out while they were still mining and seeking - it stands to reason that the lodes still had (at least) some Mithril remaining to be mined and extracted.

The lodes lead away north towards Caradhras, and down to darkness.
