Ancient Artifacts Found in Coal Could Point to Pre-Flood World

The discovery of ancient artifacts found in coal raises a fundamental question: could these artifacts be from the time before the flood? The types of artifacts found in coal are a testament to their significance. If one artifact was discovered, one may question the chance of the discovery being genuine, but when numerous discoveries have been made, we are forced to rethink our hypothesis and reconsider our assumptions. One artifact we will cover in this blog post is what became known as the Dorchester Pot. The Scientific America writer states, "This is not a question of zoology, botany, or geology, but one relating to an antique metal vessel perhaps made by Tubal-Cain, the first inhabitant of Dorchester." Imagine having a writer of a well-known publication today giving credit to the Bible as this man did. As a reminder, Tubal-Cain lived before Noah's flood. That means brass, iron, and other metals were buried before coal was formed.
(Genesis 4:22) "And Zillah, she also bare Tubal–cain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal–cain was Naamah."
According to Walt Brown Ph.D. who authored the book In the Beginning Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood, he says this:
At various times and places, man-made objects have been found encased in coal. Examples include a thimble, an iron pot, an iron instrument, an 8-karat gold chain, three throwing-spears, and a metallic vessel inlaid with silver. Other "out-of-place artifacts" have been found inside deeply buried rocks: nails, a screw, a strange coin, a tiny ceramic doll, and other objects of obvious human manufacture. By evolutionary dating techniques, these objects would be hundreds of millions of years older than man. Again, something is wrong. pg. 30, 78
Artifacts Found in Coal
The individual who found the bell was Newton Richard Anderson. Based on the interview mentioned in Genesis Park on January 20, 2007, Mr. Anderson said this about the discovery:
In 1944, as a ten-year-old boy, Anderson’s task was to keep the coal furnace stoked at his home in Buckhannon, West Virginia (WV). One evening he went into the basement to refuel the furnace and carried a particularly large lump of coal on his shovel. As he carried the loaded shovel, it wobbled and the coal fell onto the floor, breaking the lump in two. A slender metallic object was revealed, protruding from one of the broken halves. Newton set aside the piece with the curious object and placed the remainder into the furnace.
But Newton did not stop there with his discovery. He took a polygraph test in 2007, which he passed comfortably, and he had the bell analyzed to determine its make-up. As mentioned in Ancient Origins:
The bell was tested using neutron activation analysis (NAA), a nuclear process used for determining the concentrations of elements in various materials, and the results revealed an unusual mix of metals which included copper, tin, iodine, zinc, and selenium, proving they were different from any known modern alloy production.

Sulfur Springs Arkansas Nov. 27 – 1948 "While I was working in the Municipal Electric Plant in Thomas, Okla. in 1912, I came upon a solid chuck of coal which was too large to use. I broke it with a sledgehammer. This iron pot fell from the center, leaving the impression, or mould of the pot in a piece of the coal. Jim Stull (an employee of the company) witnessed the breaking of the coal, and saw the pot fall out. I traced the source of the coal and found that it came from Wilburton, Oklahoma Mines."
