It is a loop of anchor chain in the sand that could be an old mooring. No doubt the depth varies as the sand moves. It makes a bloody big sound in the headphones so it is hard to miss. I mentioned to Max that I had found it and as he had found it too on a previous visit he then had the idea of a competition.
