A Garden Tool

[Darksky40]

My Dad had a tool for the garden that had a long pole, with a round base and made of metal and it was used to flatted the ground in the garden. My dad is not around anymore to ask and please I want to know what is it called? It is made of metal and has a long pole with a round base and is used for flatten the ground in the garden all I need is the name of it.

Sorry, meant to say I've always called it a 'Packer'

I call it a punner, wooden ones for turf tamping and metal ones used for sand and gravel.
