Perry Blaine:  No.  Once the translation was completed, and the plates had been viewed and handled by the eight witnesses, the angel took the plates.   They turned up again when the angel showed them, along with the sword of Laban, the liahona, and many other records besides,  to the three witnesses, Martin Harris, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer.    The plates were apparently never returned to the hill-side, for obvious reasons---  The sealed portion has yet to be translated, but contains "the vision of all."   see Isaiah. 29:11
