The knot hole in the tree likely rotted away over time due to exposure to the elements, insects, and decay processes. As the wood around it deteriorated, the knot hole eventually disappeared or collapsed, leaving a void in the tree.
It's possible that someone else discovered the items in the knot-hole and took them, or the items were removed or destroyed by an animal or the elements. Additionally, the person who originally placed the items in the knot-hole may have decided to retrieve them for some reason.
