From the REG:

The following artifacts can be regularly found in the temple:
•      Altar of Burnt Offering, Altar of Incense, Ark of the Covenant, Book of the Covenant, Book of the Law, Holy of Holies, Lampstand of the Sanctuary, Pot of Manna, Table of Showbread, Tables of the Law, Temple Veil, The Bronze Laver, The Silver Trumpets, Windows of Narrow Light
       NOTE: Several items may be periodically found in the temple, but are not considered part of this category (e.g., Asherah Pole, Priestly Breastplate (C Deck) or Priestly Breastplate (Priests), Priestly Crown, Urim and Thummim)

So Priestly Crown, Priestly Breastplate, etc are not considered Temple artifacts because they were only found there "periodically"?  I remember a thread from a month or so ago on this subject but couldn't find it.  For what length of time must an artifact be found in the temple for it to be a Temple artifact?  I was just curious where that line is drawn.

Thanks.

Most of the things on that list were found in the temple all the time (altars, books, actual parts of the temple building, Ark of the Covenant and everything in it, and then The Bronze Laver). Asherah poles were only in Solomon's Temple for a short period of time, and the rest of the things on that non-temple artifact list were items actually worn by the priests. I don't know the background to The Silver Trumpets, but they don't seem to me to belong on the temple artifact list.

EDIT: Intraposted.

Strange, I remember at one time it was decided that the Temple Veil in question was only found in Herod's Temple, and thus wasn't a temple artifact.  Was that decision reversed?  Why?

All cards that are "Temple Artifacts" were found in Solomon's Temple. There was certainly a Veil there, as you pointed out, but the reference does not matter. If it did, it wouldn't make sense for Z's Temple to hold any artifacts, since all the references of Temple artifacts describe those that were made for Solomon's Temple.
