Display #6: Pot found in coal (cast)

The Iron Pot from the Oklahoma Coal Mines:

A replica of the original held by The Creation Evidence Museum, this iron pot was found in 1912 when Frank Kennard broke open a large chunk of coal with a sledge hammer. Mr. Kennard details his find in an affidavit:

"Sulphur Springs, Arkansas
Nov. 27, 1948
While I was working in the Municipal Electric Plant in Thomas, Okla in 1912, I came upon a solid chunk of coal which was too large to use. I broke it with a sledge hammer. This iron pot fell from the center, leaving the impression, or mold 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 the Wilburton, Oklahoma Mines.

Sworn to before me, in Sulphur Springs, Arkansas, this 27th day of November, 1948.
Jullia L. Eldred N.P. My commission expires May 21, 1951 - Benton Co."

The coal extracted from the Wilburton mines has been assigned a geologic date of Mid-Pennsylvanian. This would mean the coal (and consequently the pot within it) is estimated to be around 295 Million Years Old! Seeing as how man was not even supposed to have evolved until the last 1 Million years, this means this pot is about 294 Million Years out of place (give or take a million!). Perhaps the methods of geological dating, or the evolutionary theory, or both are in error?
