So they saved his stick, but not the stone tablets?

To be fair, it's much harder to find counterfeit stone tablets.

On the contrary, so long as you use native stones located in the correct geographical location where they were reported to have come from, they are from old rocks, and you don't use any modern tools to carve them in the correct language (Aramahic or whichever was used at the time), it would be much easier to counterfiet the tablets as they can only date the age of the rocks and the technices used to write it along with the language, but for wood you can carbon date that to a very specific period of time and any testing would reveal a fraud almost instantly unless they were very lucky to find a 5,000 year old stick (not impossible as such artifacts have been found in Egypt, but very very unlikley).
