DRIVING FENCE POSTS N ROCK

You won;t drive a t-post into/through liemstone. You gotta make a hole for it then put the post in the hole. Or, you can drill a bunch of holes about a foot deep in the limestone, drive rebar that is a tight fit into them, cut them off about a foot above the ground and pour a concrete footing that encloses the bottom of the t-post and the rebar.

That's how we used to do it in shoreline tufa. If we decided later to move the fence we just cut the post off at the ground.

I have a t-post rock auger bit and it's alot slower than the drill.
