I anchor in the same places that I have for years with other anchors. This anchor has seen light use on the Chesapeake Bay for 3 years. I rarely anchor for more than a night at a time. I doubt that the mud bottom of Dividing Creek on the Wye river has suddenly become toxic to Manson brand anchors.
It doesn't really matter if a third party galvanizes your anchors. Manson is the seller of the anchor, and responsible for quality control. If in fact this is an extremely rare occurrence, most quality manufacturers would want to examine the product to see what went wrong. It is always easier to point fingers at the end user and say its his fault.
Anyways, I'm done with this thread. The boat show starts tomorrow, and I'll be looking at anchors. I doubt if I'll stop at the Manson booth.
