Help! Mystery wire in lawn?

Please help! We recently bought our first house. I just noticed a bizarre contraption in my front lawn just outside of the front door, essentially in the flower bed barely covered by mulch chips. It has wires going into the ground which are connected to this bizarre metal rod and a switch at the end that has options to go from 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 or 1/1. Anyone have an idea what the heck this is? Using mobile and can't seem to find a way to attach pictures. Email me at [email addresses not allowed] if you'd like to see photos! Help!

Good point on the worm extractor,I remember doing that years ago with rebar and an extension cord,it actually worked quite well.
