Roman Lewett , 25 , chucked the anchor overboard when his father’s Boston Whaler broke down.

He tried to pull the anchor up, but it wouldn’t budge.

Lewett debated selling the 50-pound object for scrap, figuring it was worth a few hundred dollars .

He turned it over to the U.S. Park Service instead, hoping that experts might be able to figure out what it was and what ship it came from.

The metal used to make the pintle was a hybrid of brass and bronze, with traces of lead in the alloy.

A small chunk of wood from the rudder from the ship was still attached to it, experts say.

Gavette is testing various theories about ships that wrecked near the Golden Gate , eliminating potential matches.
