ABSTRACT:
An anchoring device having an auger disposed circumferentially around the device and a spiral-shaped member mounted to a distal end of the device to facilitate insertion of the device into sand or loose dirt. The auger preferably includes a radially outward edge which is upwardly curved to give the auger a generally scoop-shaped configuration. This scoop-shaped configuration is capable of entering the ground and retaining earthen materials and thereby provides a significant anchoring effect. The anchoring device is either attachable to the bottom end of a device to be anchored, such as an umbrella post, or is integrally formed therewith.
