With the gold plates were the Urim and Thummim and a breastplate to attach them to. Some also list the Sword of Laban, although the sword is not mentioned in the official account, it is sometimes implied from Doctrine and Covenants 17:1. Additional items have been added, such as the Liahona and several balls of gold, as well as the supplies used for creating the plates - but these are usually considered folklore as they are never mentioned in official accounts.
Joseph Smith History verses 34-35 says "He (Moroni) said there was a book deposited, written on gold plates... Also, that there were two stones in silver bows - and these stones, fastened to a breastplate, constituted what is called the Urim and Thummim."
Verse 52 describes the first time Joseph saw the plates, "I looked in, and there indeed did I behold the plates, and the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate, as stated by the messenger."
What else can I help you with?
Was Joseph Smith a Doctor of entomology?
Joseph Smith the founder of Mormonism was not a doctor of entomology or anything else, in fact, he had hardly any formal education at all. He was taught reading, writing, and basic math by his mother, and later hired a teacher to help him learn Hebrew.
Is it legal to use someone else's license plates?

How valuable would Joseph Smith's autograph be?
It would depend on who was interested in buying. Mormons would likely pay a higher price than anyone else.
Who witnessed Joseph Smith speaking to god?
Joseph Smith had several visions, some of which were witnessed by others and some of which were private events. While Joseph Smith heard the voice of God the Father and Jesus Christ many times, he records seeing God the Father bodily only once - in his first vision in 1820. This was a private event in which Joseph Smith saw the Father and Son, both of whom spoke to him. Joseph Smith does not record speaking to God, only God speaking to him. Nobody else was present. Joseph Smith and two others - Oliver Cowdery and David Whitmer - later heard the voice of God from heaven saying that the Book of Mormon was true. They did not see God or speak to Him, only heard His voice. On another occasion, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon together experienced a vision which showed the Father and Son in heaven. We know that at least one other, Philo Dibble, was present in the room but did not see the vision. It is possible that John Johnson and others were also there. Philo Dibble wrote that Joseph and Sidney sat motionless for about an hour, each describing what they were seeing. In January 1836 several church leaders gathered in the Kirtland Temple in Ohio. Joseph Smith had a vision of the Father and Son, as well as others, in heaven. Nobody else saw the vision, but they witnessed Joseph having the vision. In April 1836, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery met together to pray in the Kirtland Temple. Together they had a vision of Jesus Christ, who spoke to them. Moses, Elias, and Elijah were also a part of this vision. The vision is recorded in Doctrine and Covenants Section 110.
What happened to the newspaper that Joseph Smith said printed lies about the Mormons?
Many newspapers have printed lies about the Mormon Church, but I believe you may be referring to the Nauvoo Expositor, which Joseph Smith (as mayor of Nauvoo) had destroyed beacuse they were causing an uproar in the town. (This was also the action for which he was jailed, and this inprisonment allowed his assasination) The Nauvoo Expositor printed only one issue. Joseph Smith, as mayor, had their printing press destroyed as punishment for disturbing the peace, and they never printed anything again. They didn't really have a reason to print anything else, as after that Joseph was dead and the Mormons moved out of the state.

Where can you buy the extra fashion plates for Barbie iDesign?
I had a hard time finding this answer too until I found out I was looking for the wrong thing. I originally did a search for Barbie iDesign Fashion Plates, but they are cards. You can find them online at Toys R Us. I haven't found them anywhere else, but do a search. You may find more, it is a relatively new product.
Are plates any where else but under the sea?
Yes. All of Earth's crust, both on land and on the seafloor, is composed of tectonic plates.
How is the Mormon history significant within its religious system?
Mormonism (like Christianity) is intimately connected to its history. Mormonism cannot be true if the truthfulness of its history cannot be confirmed. That is, if Joseph Smith didn't receive the Gold Plates from the Angel Moroni, then everything else that he taught is worthless. Likewise, if Jesus Christ did not rise from the tomb on the third day, everything else He taught is worthless. The same cannot be said of Buddhism. The teachings of the Buddha are not so much connected with who he was or how he lived his life or what he actually did. His teachings can stand alone and remain valuable.
