Free anchor! With a catch...

Or, bring a Sharpie, sign the anchor, post a picture, and throw it back for the next guy.

That is a great idea!

Since the only peril presented by the current challenge is strangulation by weeds, I propose relocating the anchor to shark or alligator infested waters.

Maybe a metal detector could be the answer, lol.

I suspect a diver might have a metal detector that can handle water immersion.

After multiple rain storms and all the weed growth, seeing is doubtful.

A very bright underwater flashlight and the courage to swim in the dark might yield enough of a glint to find it.

But... one could just get lucky swimming a grid pattern wearing a mask.
