1. A self-retrievable anchor, comprising:
an anchor having an interchangeable shovel with a geometric shape that provides for resistance to movement of the interchangeable shovel when submerged under water;
a hinge plate manifold removably attached interchangeable to the shovel, the hinge plate manifold defining a slot therebetween, and a first hole and a second hole perpendicular to the slot;
a lever having a proximal end and distal end, the lever at the proximal end defining a third hole and a fourth hole, and the distal end connected to a retrieving means;
the lever disposed within the slot of the hinge plate manifold for the first and the second holes of the hinge plate manifold to align with the third and the fourth holes of the lever, respectively;
a fuse pin disposed within the second and the fourth holes, and a pivot hinge pin disposed within the first and the third holes;
wherein the fuse pin is individually sized dependent upon the anchor to break before reaching ultimate tensile strength of the retrieving means attached to the lever, and the fuse pin is not universal to the anchor; and
wherein the interchangeable shovel is in a rotated 180° position after the fuse pin breaks relative to an original position interchangeable of the shovel before the fuse pin breaks for providing self-retrieval of the anchor.
