When I fisrt started fishing the wrecks with a friend years ago we had lost a couple of hooks & an anchor & my partner didn't seem upset at all. Strange, since he was a cheapskate! Then about the fourth time we went out, he grabbed a tank & mask & jumped in (70 feet). I was a bit concerned after he was down there 15 or so minutes & I lost his bubble trail. He came back up, said there were plenty of snapper & grouper down there & we kept fishing.
At the end of the day, I went forward to pull the anchor and DAMN! was that thing heavy, as I got to the chain I saw lines tied to it, the whole time my buddy is just snickering away.
Had to tie it off & bring them up one at a time, he had gathered 3 wreck hooks & two anchors & tied them all to our rode!!
I still have one of those anchors & that was 25 years ago!
