As much as I would like to think it's real it doesn't seem right with the oxidation and the cats and elephants are out of place. Darn these hoax finds!

I don't know for sure if article is true, but just by looking through some other links on the site it doesn't seem very credible.
For instance one of the linked news articles says that Madonna(Yes the singer) died in her sleep. Unfortunately for that news article it was dated sometime in 2009. And Modanna still seems to be alive and kicking....edit on 22-7-2012 by centrifugal because: (no reason given)

Awesome find
Take a look at the upper right hand corner of this picture from your source:
It looks like an elephant. I don't think that elephants ever existed in Ecuador so this strengthens my theory that all these ancient civilizations were somehow connected, most likely by Atlantis.

The "gold plate" to me does not look like gold. It appears tarnished at the edges (why not in the middle too?). It looks like polished brass or bronze that has been chemically 'aged' or has been oxidised due to handling.
If this is brass or bronze, there's no way it is older than a month (since last polished). The oxidisation would have been worse (and covered the whole plate more evenly) especially in the humidity of a cave.
Along the bottom of the plate is what appears to be Greek lettering but the photo is very poor. And the elephants in both are not native to Ecuador.
Similarities in theme and execution lead me to assume that both plates were done by the same person, too.
The other (silver?) plate in the photo also lacks oxidisation.
I'd go with totally fake.edit on 22/7/2012 by chr0naut because: (no reason given)
