From the footnotes of Narn i Hin Hurin:

The mystery of the other things in Mim's sack is not explained. The only other statement on the subject is a hastily scribbled note, which suggests that they were ingots of gold disguised as roots, and refers to Mim seeking "for old treasures of a dwarf-house near the 'flat stones'"

Possibly Gold, then, but in the long run it's uncertain.
