After defeating Moder the wishbone would still ping on the Mountain but digging down would reveal a hidden skeleton but no silver. Disappointing since I wanted to apply another couple of upgrades before venturing into the Plains.

This does not seem correct to me. Can anyone else who has killed Moder comment on this?

This doesn't have anything to do with killing Moder. You can find buried remains on the mountain that the wishbone triggers its effect for. He just happened to find buried remains instead of a silver vein. Bad luck.
