Yes, it is a post hole digger. One of those hated objects by rural teenage boys everywhere.

A classic tool,,, memories of helping my dad put in white picket fencing as a young lad.

The shape reminds me of an antenna. Only problem with assuming that is what it is, I have never seen one rust quite like that.

But anyway, I have to ask. Is this an antenna?

Of sorts. It's in my garden, but not many people would call it a tool.

Yes! You got it!
It's the anemometer part of a weather vane which is missing its rooster.
Here it is basking in the moonlight:
