I think the Urim and the Thummim were a type of yes or no answer dice, in like a 'pocket' on the breastplate of the high priest.
It was like asking God a magic 8 ball question. (e.g., Lord, should we fight this country? Yes or No?)
The lack of correct answers after the first temple's destruction must be correlated to the current reason they no longer use the 2 pieces.
