You should have put a workbench or some other "base structure" near the items. That would've stopped them from despawning. Hello people, I had the same problem, in the Crypts, I left all the iron ready to take me and EVERYTHING disappeared. I'm not going to play again until they fix it. Cheers!
Alternatively, you could have left the iron in a chest inside the crypt. Those never despawn.
It isn't a bug, just a game mechanic.
