Hello Anne, Michael and List. I would have to agree with Anne, in that if it struck the water, and sank to the bottom, then it would not be considered a hammer, however, I assume that if it hit the side of the pool and left physical evidence of that fact, then it would be a hammer. This also leads me to ask...does a meteorite have to damage something for it to be a hammer? What if they were pea sized individuals (Holbrook) that hit, but left no damage. Would they be considered hammer stones? Regards, Craig Moody
