Been there done that. The "ton" thing seems stupid to me. You don't order concrete by the ton. You order it by the cubic yard.
One yard of concrete will cover 80 sqft 4 inches thick.
While I understand that concrete is a "liquid" vs solid rock (gravel).
Knowing length x width and depth you wanted ordering by the yard would be a lot simpler.

Just saying. I can calculate volume easy, weight not so much.

"Tons" are are more useful when loading a weight limited vehicle, though.
A cube of that gravel weighs over twice as much a cube of topsoil.

A cubic yard of concrete weighs approx 4050 pounds, what is your point? Obviously weight works best for the producer not the consumer. Concrete is mixed by weight, but as a customer service is converted to cubic yards so the buyer knows how much to order. It would be a customer service of course but it could be done on top soil to rock also. just an average would be nice, if a place offered 15 different gravels they wouldn't have to weight/volume every single one.

How deep? And how did it sink?

it sitting in about 40' of water....and they actually scuttled it, the hull is full of rocks. Apparently it was supposed to be sunk in deeper water, but the ship started to take on water only a few hundred yards from the shore, so they just decided to leave it there, haha.

Yep. I remember the sheriff's calling me one day saying they found most of our cable. The meth heads were trying like hell to find the copper in the fiber!
Years back some bozos burned down a 10' diameter reel of fiber optic cable up by the Manzano mountains south of Albuquerque. Only things left were the two steel rims that were on the outer reel edges and eight 4' cross bolts that held the reel together.
