Found a trick for setting posts in rocky soil without a digger

Been working a job up near Flagstaff last week and the ground is basically solid rock mixed with gravel. My normal auger kept bouncing off and I was getting nowhere. Tried filling the hole with water and letting it soak overnight before digging, and it softened the clay enough to get through. Has anyone else used this trick for tough soil or do you just switch to a different method entirely?

Damn, just dumping water in and waiting overnight actually works? I've been out there cussing at rocks for hours like an idiot.
