Among them, it stands out a flat ax and a dagger with cutouts and central rib, both of bronze and originating from the space known as Coveta del Flare or well of Jaime Cruañes Signes in the Cap Martí. There is also a round "pingante" (bronze pendant) dating back to medieval times (late fifteenth century), about 6, 8 centimeters in diameter and engraved on one side with two angels holding a shield with the Gothic letter "Y" .
