I would say most who put there noses in here would be aware of Copper Scroll found at Qumran. It was a contemporary treasure map of the times that gives alleged locations of caches of Temple items in and around Jerusalem. Now even before Qumran was heard of a copper plate made its appearance in Chile around 1935. This copper plate had a lot of Hebrew style script on it and was part of a trail that leads to a surviving Temple cache also. The last two images show the appearance of this copper plate. If you are wondering why this sort of information should appear on a copper plate it is because in historical writings there were descriptions of how the location of the Temple treasure was cached and the location recorded on a (singular) Luach Nehoshet; a copper plate. The Qumran one is a later reproductive facsimile, a treasure map from the time of the Essenes, designed to record the story as known by the Essenes and appear in the proper form, on a copper plate. So too the one that appeared in Chile. There are however some things depicted on that one that tells you to look a bit deeper. The fact that those who made the one found in Chile fabricated it this way shows they were a lot more familiar with those ancient writings of how, to find the the lost Temple treasure, you had to follow a Luach Nehoshet.
