The London Hammer

So what's the latest on this hammer? I never even knew about it and now it's possible that we were here before we thought we were... Could explain a lot of things.

It's a fraudulent claim about a hammer embedded in a concretion.

As harte has already mentioned its an obvious fraud, the hammer just happens to be a type of prospecting hammer that was widely sold and very popular in texas in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

While iron is common, native iron is extremely uncommon.
Because of iron's high (higher than copper and tin, for example) melting point, it took a lot better technology to be able to smelt iron from ore.

Its more than EXTREMELY rare, there is only one known deposit of telluric(native) iron in the world and its in greenland.

Yeah, but there's meteoric iron too. Depends on how close you want to cleave to the definition of "native."
