This thread contains excellent information and pictures of anchors and how they set. There is another thread that contains videos of anchors settings and that thread also contains excellent information. Here is a link to the other thread:

I took some photos today of all the anchors in our anchorage. Sorry the quality is not great. It is still too cold to dive for a wimp like me, so most have been taken from the dingy. Better pictures to come soon, but I could not wait to share the photos from my new underwater camera.

The pictures tell the story. I have included a short commentary, as I saw each of the boats drop and set the anchor, but you can judge the photos for yourself.

Just a word of caution these are only 4 photos in one anchorage. Do not jump to any conclusions on overall anchor performance based just on this small number of examples.
