Boat Anchor

This old boat anchor came from the bottom of Spirit Lake Iowa. It isn't worth much and it's large for display purposes but I really enjoy it. I should probably treat it with some type of stabilizer or sealant.

SW that anchor is screaming HANG MY UP! Man that is cool. Another awesome conversation piece. Whatever you do with it, shoot us some pics of where it lands! Thanks for sharing.

Very cool. Would look great in a garden or as a plant hanger on a porch. Ballistol, WD40, or Bar-chain oil work well as preservatives.

I am in Michigan, 11 thousand and three lakes and I have been looking for an old anchor like that for YEARS. You find one in the middle of the states?? LOL fantastic find I say. I found the flukes off of one that was broke and a lot heavier and I found a three ton anchor and had to leave it BUT I have yet to find an old one like you have. I have had over 100 anchors beside my house and i am jealous!!

There are ways to clean it and then put a layer of melted paraffin wax on it to keep it away from air. Sweet find!!
