Pretty close.
Actually, I was thinking of an inverted 'T' with a box on top, but that would require some digging.
If he knew the site was free of utility lines, either would work well, but I would hate to interdict my power/phone/cable/water testing it.
If he goes the single long picket route, he needs a 'picket pounder' to go with it. Just ask the shop welding the iron to weld a cap on a piece of pipe slightly larger in diameter than the angle iron about the length that you want sticking out of the ground. Slip it on top and slam it up and down on the picket repeatedly to drive it into the ground. Short of power equipment, the best way I have found to stick pickets firmly in the ground, and pretty quick, too.
Then they will have to run over it to take it out.
Just a thought.
