Suggestion for a 4-800 lb. inexpensive mooring ?

on a serious note, i thought that most moorings were poured concrete,
poured right on the spot using whatever kind of form you can make/find.
concrete cures just fine under water once it's been poured, and i'm
sure concrete is easier to deal than a fifteen foot tall statue of
elvis.

I want to install a fixed mooring this summer and see that for example
mushroom anchors are expensive.
The environment is... Atlantic salt water, in a fairly well protected
cove, with 6' tides, in about 10-15' of water, virtually no traffic and
a spit serving as immediate breakwater.
Alternative suggestions to a mushroom would be appreciated.

My understanding is that concrete loses a lot of it's 'weight' in water,
whereas steel/iron do not and given the recent hurricane rash I'd prefer
all I can reasonably get. Plus I'm not in an area catering to such
services as installing moorings, for example.
Gratefully,
Courtney
