It's number three on Duck Duck Go.

First I've heard of the thing. Wouldn't it be easy to do a carbon 14 test on the wooden handle?--Bob^{"I think you'll find it's more complicated than that."} 13:50, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Supposedly a test has been made and it "showed inconclusive dates ranging from the present to 700 years ago." ([http://paleo.cc/paluxy/hammer.htm The London Hammer:

Would [1] and/or stalactites/stalagmites be a reasonable assumption for what happened here? Anna Livia (talk) 18:03, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

@Anna Livia As I recall from several debunking videos, it’s the petrifying well thing. It’s an accretion of minerals from being soaked in water. This also goes for the hat mentioned in the article, as well as for a skeletal foot in a boot that’s also touted by creationists as “evidence” of rapid fossilisation. I seem to recall that Potholer54 once did a video on this, but I’m not absolutely sure. ScepticWombat (talk) 19:15, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
