Joseph Smith was a con artist and there were no gold tablets. He said that there were but no one else ever saw them. And after he finished using the magic stone(s) to "translate" the supposed "reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics" that were allegedly etched into the non-existent gold tablets, the tablets were allegedly whisked up to heaven.

There are other gold tablets in Fort Knox and in the storage vaults of central banks of various nations, and in the storage facilities of manufacturers that handle raw or alloyed gold and use it in making gold leaf, thin coatings, jewelry, etc. But none of these "gold tablets" have reformed Egyptian hieroglyphics on them, and none of them have magical powers or properties.

I dug in Vermont just like Joe did. I found a cardboard tablet that read "BEN&JERRY'S".

We don't know what metal the plates were made from, but I doubt they were gold. I don't know if there are more or where they might be found. Only God knows that.

Several times, metal plates were found with records on them.

Some ancient European and Mesopotamian cultures did keep short records on metal plates, but extant examples are rare, have comparatively brief texts, and are extremely thin. A six-page, 24-carat gold book, written in Etruscan, was found in Bulgaria; and in 2005, an eight-page golden codex, allegedly from the Achaemenid period, was recovered from smugglers by the Iranian police. The Pyrgi Tablets (now at the National Etruscan Museum, Rome) are gold plates with a bilingual Phoenician-Etruscan text. Gold Laminae funerary texts similar to Books of the Dead have also been found in Italy. In the caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls had been found, archaeologists later discovered the aptly-named Copper Scroll, two rolled sheets of copper that may describe locations where treasures of the Second Temple of Jerusalem may have been hidden. Nevertheless, there is no known extant example of writing on metal plates longer than the eight-page Persian codex and no extant metal plates with writing from Egypt or from any ancient civilization in the Western Hemisphere.
