In 1972, when Sari (small crystals sometimes found among cremated remains of monks) pagoda site was destroyed to establish Cheongdam Daejongsa Sari pagoda and Sari pagoda tombstone and monument, 1 Goryeo Buddhist temple bell, 5 bronze spoons, 1 pair of bronze chopsticks, 2 bronze ladles, 1 bronze mirror and 1 bronze coin were excavated, and currently, they are stored in the Cheongdam Memorial Hall. These relics with a clear findspot are a mix of typical Goryeo era metal crafts, Joseon Dynasty period Sangpyeongtongbo, and bronze mirror in the Edo period, Japan, which proves that the Sari pagoda site is longstanding building remains.
