==Question: Did Moroni bury the gold plates in the Hill Cumorah referenced in the Book of Mormon?==
===The Book of Mormon does not state that the plates of Mormon were buried in the Hill Cumorah: All of the other records '''''except''''' the gold plates were buried there===

The Book of Mormon does not state that the plates of Mormon were buried in the Hill Cumorah; in fact, it states that the plates were not buried in Cumorah at that time, but were given to Moroni to safeguard until it came time for them to be put in their ultimate place of deposit:

<blockquote>
"And it came to pass that when we had gathered in all our people in one to the land of Cumorah, behold I, Mormon...made this record [the plates of Mormon] out of the plates of Nephi, and hid up in the hill Cumorah all the records which had been entrusted to me by the hand of the Lord, '''''save [except] it were these few plates which I gave unto my son Moroni'''''." ({{S||Mormon|6|6}}) {{ea}}
</blockquote>

This demonstrates that the burial place of the rest of the plates from the people of the Nephites were buried at the hill where the Nephite destruction took place, the actual ancient Cumorah.

===Moroni wandered for 36 years before burying the plates of Mormon===

This took place in approximately <small>A.D.</small> 385. Moroni did not bury the plates of Mormon until <small>A.D.</small> 421. During this 36-year period Moroni explained:

<blockquote>
"[The Lamanites] put to death every Nephite that will not deny the Christ. And I, Moroni, will not deny the Christ; wherefore, I wander whithersoever I can for the safety of mine own life." ({{s||Moroni|1|3}})
</blockquote>

During that 36-year wandering to escape the Lamanites, it seems likely that he could have traveled a great distance.  If the Nephite Cumorah was not in New York, Moroni could easily have eventually come to modern New York state where he buried the plates.  On the other hand, he could have easily remained in the general area of the Nephite destruction in his wanderings.
