What's this?

I've got one and am putting in an ad Free to anyone who wants to remove it.

It's very solid. I put it in for for daughter who was 14 at the time. Try digging a hole in the ground that's like solid rock 6 inches down. Called caliche. Not being familiar with it back then, after digging down about 6 inches and hitting it, decided to fill it with water to soften it up. Came back an hour later and the hole was still full. Needed a heavy bar just to break thru it. Anyway, put the pole, about 4" diameter in the hole and filled it with concrete. Just to make sure it was solid, filled the pole with concrete also. That was my downfall. How do I get rid of it now? Too dang heavy and next to the driveway. Any takers?
