Where are the Mormon "relics"?

As far as I know, Joseph only received the Golden Plates, the Urim and Thumim, and the breastplate to which the Urim and Thumim was connected.
Joseph Smith - History 1:59
59 At length the time arrived for obtaining the plates, the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate.[...]
The view referred to in D&C 17:1 is the vision that the Three Witnesses saw.
Our Heritage: A Brief History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
David Whitmer explained: “We went out into the woods, near by, and sat down on a log and talked awhile. We then kneeled down and prayed. Joseph prayed. We then got up and sat on the log and were talking, when all at once a light came down from above us and encircled us for quite a little distance around; and the angel stood before us.” This angel was Moroni. David said that he “was dressed in white, and spoke and called me by name and said ‘Blessed is he that keepeth His commandments.’ A table was set before us and on it the records were placed. The Records of the Nephites, from which the Book of Mormon was translated, the brass plates, the Ball of Directors, the sword of Laban and other plates.” While the men were viewing these things, they heard a voice that said: “These plates have been revealed by the power of God, and they have been translated by the power of God. The translation of them which you have seen is correct, and I command you to bear record of what you now see and hear.”
The Golden Plates (and the Urim and Thumim) were taken again by the angel, and the other things were never in Joseph's posession, as far as I am aware.
