Are there ANY treasures worth it?
I mean, C-bills are nice and all, but I'm mostly finding ammo and heatsinks, and the C-bills are barely in the 10,000 range most of the time. Am I just getting unlucky rolls or what?(This is after getting two in a row of just C-Bills and less than 9k ones at that.)

Depends on area and level. Some loot can give some interesting tech like high level weapons, and in some cases even lostech before it becomes available.
In general yeah probably getting shafted by RNG.

There are different types of boxes. One type has a bit of refill for ammo and a small armor repair in them, in amounts depending on the mode depending on the mode.

The other ones with loot in random missions I'd have to do a little digging on how the value of what is inside is set. It could be distributed across all of the crates that spawn, just don't quote me on that. And that definitely can vary depending on the scenario type.

If you are just getting C-bills, that's probably the first type and they only show up in specific modes like Targeted Kill where the assassination targets sometimes drop them.

For completeness, the other types of boxes spawn in missions as objectives or as special loot caches (DLC5 campaign). I think the ones used as mission objectives could give C-bills, but they're mostly just there for checking off the objective.
Aside from all of them restoring either a little bit or a lot of ammo, you can get high tier weapons, although you will get lvl4-5 weapons only at 13+ level conflict zones. Besides they are free, so why not pick them up, and you can shoot the tents from afar to see if there is a big yellow box instead of walking up to each to check.

i pick them up when i find them for the weapons/ gear.

even if they are low level, they add up, and eventually i sell off all the junk.

All of the hidden loot crates in the Dragon's Gambit campaign are worth it, If you pick them all up, you get 4 Gauss Rifles, 3 uAC/5s, 3 ER L Lasers, ER PPC, 3 L Pulses, 6 M Pulses, 12 Double Heat Sinks, massive mounts of LRMs w/ Artemis... and all of it Tier 5 quality.

As for the standard drops... I did once get 10 million in one... but that was with a mod installed, which I think had bugged out.
