in reply to hidden timestamp?

As far as I know the only information you can get from your table is that information that is inserted into it.

Unfortunatly, this means that there is no record of when rows were added to the table unless you provided that information when the insert was done via a timestamp column.

I could be wrong, however, I am pretty certian there is no way to determine when individual rows were added to a table unless you add that information yorself. Sorry!
