The soil probing device has a measuring probe, a plurality of rod sections each having a central axis for assembly of the probing rod, driving means for penetrating the probing rod into the ground, and a measuring means for determining properties of the ground during penetration of the probing rod into the ground. The probing rod while penetrated into the ground is extendable each time by a new one of the rod sections. Each of the rod sections are provided at their outer ends with complementary male and female locking parts which in an axially aligned position of adjacent rod sections, are movable relative to each other from an unlocked into a locked position and from the locked position into the unlocked position.
