The London Hammer

"The London Hammer (also known as the "London Artifact") is a name given to a hammer made of iron and wood that was found in London, Texas in 1936. Part of the hammer is embedded in a limy rock concretion, leading to it being hailed in some quarters as anomalous artifact: If an obviously man-made tool is old enough to have been encased in rock, the argument goes, then conventional history is wrong.
Creationist Carl Baugh referenced the hammer in the 1980s, even using it as the basis of speculation of how the atmospheric quality of a pre-flood earth could have encouraged the growth of giants. The hammer is now an exhibit in Baugh's Creation Evidence Museum, which sells replicas of it to visitors."
