it looks like they've deleted the illustrations that they previously had (you know, the one where Joe is carefully examining the golden pages and Ollie is taking notes...no cloth covering, no hat, no magic rock.) But if you dig around in the "gospel art" collection you can still find this one:

Meanwhile our friends at FAIR (the biggest site for LDS defenders of the faith) are apparently embracing the holy hat and sacred stone:
