🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Large anchor found

[John kyle christoffers]

Hey there everyone I found this anchor while diving the other day. I found this anchor in the middle of sand with no natural reef or bottom witching thousands of feet of it. I grew up treasuring hunting and shipwreck diving. So a couple of questions, any idea of what era it may be from? It’s about 10FT in length. I’m wanting to Salvage it and I have the means to do so, but what is the steps I would need to take to do it legally. Any and all experience/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It might depend on the state law you are in. You might be able to obtain the rights, but be sure to check with the state authorities before you do anything.

I'd check to see if there is a salvage claim at that spot first. If not, I'd file one if it's not terribly expensive. Maybe after you have the permit, bring a blower in and see if anything else is under all that sand.
