Default Shifting sand reveals old anchor

Between Amble and Hauxley an old wood and metal anchor has appeared as the sand has shifted. Interesting to try and get a date, the metal ring is very large but the shaft and flukes appear to be detached and missing. The wood being the top part of the anchor. Perhaps lost from a ship in the Coquet Roads ?

It is also near some extensive peat beds and ancient tree stumps; and the rocks a little further north appear to have fossils embedded, I'll post some pictures
