In 1616, Dirk Hartog left a pewter plate at Shark Bay, Western Australia (then New Holland) inscribed with details of his voyage.In 1697, Dutch sailor Willem de Vlamingh reached New Holland and removed Hartog's pewter plate, replacing it with another plate. He took the original back to Holland. It is now kept in the Rijksmuseum. Hartog's original inscription was copied onto a new plate, and Vlamingh added new information about his own voyage.
Wikipedia: In 1616, Dirk Hartog landed at Inscription Point on the north end of the island and marked his discovery with a pewter plate, inscribed with the date and nailed to a post. This plate was then replaced by Willem de Vlamingh and returned to Holland. It is now kept in the National Museum of Holland. There is a replica in the Shark Bay Discovery Centre in Denham.
The bottom plate will be apart from wall, because of a drop of water, already being inside.
