According to Joseph Smith's Story, he got the gold plates out of a large stone box, embedded in the Hill Cumorah, near his home in Palmyra. Yes, the Church "did" go to the hill with ground penetrating radar machines, looking for the stone box and any evidence of several million dead Nephites and Lamanites.
Nothing was found.
It was also believed that the Hill contained a cavern with many gold plates, as per something Oliver Cowdery once wrote. The Hill Cumorah has no "caverns" or cavities, according to the ground penetrating radar.
I got this information from two sources, both retired BYU professors, who had no reason to lie to me about it. Both were Members of the Church in good standing. One is now dead.
No stone box was found.
The hill has no cavities or caverns in it.
Lorenzo Saunders was a neighbor of the Smith family. He said when he was first told about Joseph Smith getting gold plates from a stone box on the Hill Cumorah, he went there the next day to look around, and found no stone box, and he found that the earth had not be moved (nobody dug up anything). He said he walked all over the entire hill.
There is another hill not far from the Hill Cumorah called "Mormon Hill" where a cavern was dug out by someone.
No archaeologist in the State of New York believes there were any great battles involving millions of people, anywhere in the State, in ancient times. To date, they have found no horse bones dating from pre-English/French times, no oxen bones, no cow bones, no sheep bones, no 'ass' (donkey) bones that date before the English and French settlers. In other words...No "Nephites" anywhere. They have all vanished "without a trace".
