An anchoring device particularly for securement of an umbrella, and may also be used in soft or hard materials. The anchoring device is comprised of a tubular body having an outer surface and an upper end and a tapering lower end, the lower end includes a penetrating tip extending longitudinally from the tubular body, the penetrating tip further having a plurality of lateral extensions capable of breaking hard ground, and a plurality of laterally extending baffles about the outer surface of the lower end of the tubular body, each of the baffles having a front edge proximal and a rear edge distal to the lower end of the tubular body. The front edges are substantially the same distance from the penetrating tip, whereby the lateral extensions break the ground or material preceding the front edges of the baffles as the body rotates.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An anchoring device, comprising:a tubular body having an outer surface and an upper end and a tapering lower end;said lower end including a penetrating tip extending longitudinally from said tubular body, said penetrating tip further having a plurality of lateral extensions capable of breaking hard ground; anda plurality of laterally extending baffles about said outer surface of said tubular body, each of said baffles having a front edge proximal and a rear edge distal to said lower end of said tubular body, each of said front edges being substantially the same distance on said outer surface of said body relative to each other and distally from said penetrating tip,whereby rotation of said tubular body causes said lateral extensions of said penetrating tip to break the ground preceding said front edges of said baffles and which translates to substantially simultaneous axial movement of said baffles of the anchoring device within the ground.
