There were several Sacred items that were buried with the Plates of Gold by the prophet Moroni:
> "Having removed the earth, I obtained a lever, which I got fixed under
> the edge of the stone, and with a little exertion raised it up. I
> looked in, and there indeed did I behold the plates, **the Urim and
> Thummim, and the breastplate**, as stated by the messenger. The box in
> which they lay was formed by laying stones together in some kind of
> cement. In the bottom of the box were laid two stones crossways of the
> box, and on these stones lay the plates **and the *other things with
> them*.**" (JS–H 1:52)
>
Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris, saw these items at Fayette, New York, in June 1829 (see Doctrine and Covenants Section 17 )
>
> "Behold, I say unto you, that you must rely upon my word, which if you
> do with full purpose of heart, you shall have a view of the plates,
> and also of the **breastplate**, the **sword of Laban**, the **Urim and Thummim**,
> which were given to the brother of Jared upon the mount, when he
> talked with the Lord face to face, and the **miraculous directors *(Liahona)*** which
> were given to Lehi while in the wilderness, on the borders of the Red
> Sea." (D&C 17:1)
