Smhasher could mention that there is https://github.com/skeeto/hash-prospector which helps discovering nice constants and simple, but quite high quality hashes.

@rurban have you done any testing on these to determine how they compare to the current recommendations? Just curious because the hash prospector project sounds really cool.

No, I haven't even included the top 3 prospector hashes yet

the results of the prospector are most used as an avalanche part of a complete hash function
