If you ever go to a museum and look at what artifacts they have from the dark ages, it's like 99% metal stuff. Just statistical I guess. I think even a gemstone would normally be attached to a piece of jewelry and not just loose on its own. The other big one is pottery and other earthwares, but I guess the idea of that law is to protect whatever they can.
