I found a lunchbox while scavenging. When I picked it up it made a sound, suggesting it might be important. Is it useful beyond simply being a piece of scrap?

Picking up a Vault-Tec lunchbox will open it and spawn a random item, which will fall out of the lunchbox and be on the floor somewhere near by. You get to keep the lunchbox after opening it and it can be used in crafting.
From experience it's largely junk items that you can use in crafting. It's possible to save your game before opening the lunchbox and reload it to try for another item as the item is spawned at the point you open the lunchbox.
