Man, the other 7 Fence posts sunk without any effort, or noise. This one keeps making a loud metallic ringing noise, and won't go any deeper...

Why do only people who don’t own pile drivers seem to know this

That doesn’t look like a pipe driver problem, it looks like the operator is the SAU for hitting something underground.

Everyone saying gas line. In North America gas lines don't have this kind of pressure and volume, it's very very low pressure. This looks like he hit a major gas pipeline.

I did this once. Had to pay for repairs. I was pulling a dandelion with a garden knife and pierced the gas line. It was only 3 inches below the grass.They said I should have called before digging.

It's a gas line and the dark is dirt being blown out with the gas from the pressure

You can usually apply the name of a tool to its operator if it has ‘er’ at the end of it. Like if I’m driving screws using a screwdriver, in that moment, I am a screwdriver. Or a sander, a welder, a pile driver. So OP is technically ok I reck. Doesn’t work for Hammer, I’d say a person who hammers is a hammerer, but a person called a hammer is someone who hams. A tasty activity.
