"Here's a link to the "fake" conclusion"

I hadn't read far enough before I asked for a link. Sorry!

Aw, c'mon...
Can you just picture an illiterate denizen of northern Jordan the 1950s or 60s deciding, "I'll just find me some copper and lead sheets and fire off a bunch of meaningless, but detailed laborious embossed plates, bury them somewhere and wait 61 years and see what happens... ?

I suppose that's possible.

I read your link, but is he even talking about the same codices? The photos of this find out of Jordan look and sound very different than the find he posts photos of and writes about—the way the inscriptions are written look nothing alike. They were even discovered in different places, so...

These look and read like possibly two separate finds that are being lumped together.

Time will tell, I guess.

I looked up Elkington and the other two "scholars" quoted most often along with him on this story.

Their backgrounds and projects currently engaged in came across as pretty flaky to me.

At that point I began to get skeptical about these plates.
