Source for gardener's peg or dimple

My father whittled from cedar wood an awl looking implement he called a peg that he used for planting seedlings. A neighbor said it was called a dimple. I have looked under both names to see if I can find one to purchase but to no avail. Is there another name or does anyone know where to locate one? Thanks!

I've heard it called a dibble, and it looks like there are several available on Amazon.

Thanks so much! I just found a hand carved cherry one on Etsy that I purchased. I am looking forward to using it planting tomatoes and other plants in my veggie garden in about a month.
