Question .

IIRC a pro company will charge a fee to look, and if you're willing to gamble that then go for it.

I personally think the hammer strikes are what will have destroyed any chance of recovery at the very least in the areas that have been struck because what on earth is going to read the data off a surface that isn't flat, but also AFAIK hammering metal upsets its magnetic field.
 
I've sent many bad drives in for recovery over my 28 years of IT and the only ones that couldn't be recovered had scored platters (scratches on it).

After what you've done i would say the odds of recovery are about as close to 0% as you can get.
 
So you had access to several articles about data recovery and you still felt 'unsure about how to proceed' after your frankly preposterous story and intending to don some snorkel gear to retrieve a disk that you intentionally damaged and threw into a pond or some shvt?

In all these cases, there were thousands of dollars in fees and also the 'clout' effect of great advertising. You already know you should contact a professional recovery firm. There are no data recovery professionals here soliciting work.
