I just finished reading a book about the Mountain Men and early trappers. Due to the uncertainty of conditions, they often cached their pelts and other important gear for later retrieval. Since it was covered with "preservatives", I expect it was cached and couldn't be retrieved. Since it was a valuable item, there was probably a good reason why it was left there.
