I have had to cut away my anchor with about 30' of chain on two occassions within the last three years. Both were in areas with much current and turbid water, so I was reluctant to dive for a retrieval. One of the traps was seen as I hoisted part of it with my windlass and it appeared to be cement with rebar and the other was likely Jimmy Hoffa's car!. I've done well with buying used 45lb anchors,- Bruce & Plow, at consignment shops, but I do think the wise choice would be for me to deploy a float on a trip line. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
