Was given this anchor and told it was "lead".
It's very shiny, extremely hard to scratch and weighs about 18 Ilbs.
I'm assuming that it's some sort of an alloy - but what?

I'm gonna wager (Even without a sense of scale) that thing would weigh a lot more than 18 lbs if it were lead. Definitely looks galvanized (Zinc coated)
 
Lead corrodes at a high rate in salt water it is used as an annode in marine use !
