thanks MPH200 i had looked through this post. Still can't seem to find a similar pic anywhere of the crown like this anchor pictured.? the flukes are 19" by 17" wide at base. Cast iron mold. should i attempt to clean off sediment of leave as is. It was recentlyexcavated from the sandy arkansas riverbed about 150ft from shoreline. there was a lot of labor into getting it out of river (no wonder it had been there so long).

No harm in at least powerwashing it off to show some important detail. Flukes seem to be steel plate? Wire rope?

Dimensions and weight are important, so that is all good.
