In my opinion, I think you should eliminate 'however' and there needs to be a comma between find and thinking. That would make it sound better. Also, one of those 'it's should be 'them'. Like this:

In the inky darkness, we've only had enough luck to uncover a few shards, spheres, and a few other items that didn't concern us, but we kept every last bit we could find, thinking we could sell them later for some more food and equipment.

Even with those edits, it's sort of a run-on sentence. =/ The 'in the inky darkness' part sounds weird, like something should be before it, or it should be after the first part. It's just... a weird sentence overall. Maybe you could use something like this:

We've only had enough luck to uncover a few treasures in the inky darkness, but we kept every last bit we could find, even the items that didn't concern us, in the hope that we could sell them later for food and equipment.

(This is me contributing to the thread in atonement. I freaking love grammar and sentence structure. <3 I can't explain it.)
