Yup, Back a few posts I think I mentioned that. Biggest problem--
RUST-RUST-RUST. And thickness/weight.. Rebar is over 1/2 thick, its not weight I wanted, just holding power.

The heavy anchor in the pic near the start of this thread I used for maybe 5 years until I decided to make a smaller one that would not hang up and be so hard to release/unbend. Notice there is NO RUST. Being a materials scientist, I selected 304 and welded with 316.
Although 316 rod would be even more corrosion resistant, the cost did not justify it. So I made out of 304 and it worked great.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
