Moroni lived farther away than that when he buried the plates.
I guess your point is not very clear to me. We agree that the ancient tale shows that stories claiming metal records were being buried anciently were well-known in the ancient Greek/Roman world so anyone claiming the contrary is wrong. We also seem to agree that this does nto 'prove' the authenticity of the BoM. There also seems to be some consensus that overclaiming this evidence would be ill-advised, although it is not clear to me that Lindsay (or any other unidentified 'apologist') was doing so, even though I concede I did not relaly read all of Lindsay's site. What else is there here that you are trying to say?
