Yes, I mentioned a large stone but concrete could be the problem and if that's the case it won't go any further in. It might be best to try and get it out and see if you can probe with something like an expendable length of 1/2" copper water pipe. If there's something really hard down there you'll hear it as you probe. If someone's got a large bar, scaffolding tube or even a long handled spade you might be able to ease it up by using a block of wood as a fulcrum near to the spike and trying to get an end under one of the fins, if that's possible. Otherwise it's a case of digging it out.Did you double check the old post had not been concreted in below the lawn ? maybe this is what you have come up against
