Why haven't we found any others?

Unfortunately bronze is a valuable and highly recyclable commodity. Don't forget bronze was used for low domination coinage at the time of the Mechanism. Consequently, bronze finds from antiquity are remarkably rare. In fact many of the significant historical bronze finds have been made underwater, where they were inaccessible to those who might have reworked them.
