You just have to dig up, or bang a hole in, the "whatevers". A digging bar (tall heavy iron crowbar with chiselpoint end) can be useful in breaking up buried rocks or cinderblocks, but sometimes you just have to excavate (unless you can solve the problem by locating the post a foot further over or something like that). Make sure to tamp the soil back into the hole VERY VERY FIRMLY, just 4-6" at a time, when you set the post into the enlarged hole.
Good luck, have fun,
Pat, in the land of "clay filled with glacial till ranging from fist to boulder sized", and quite familiar with the problem
