I have no idea what my wall is made of, but I can't get into it with a
standard drill and bit or with a "self-drilling anchor". All I
managed to do is gouge out a hole in the wall. Any idea what it may
be made of, or how to get into it?

Another wall has a similar problem: I can't hammer a nail into it
deeper than a coupla mm. Presumably made of the same stuff, but this
time I didn't try much harder than that to get into the wall.

Thanks,

How old is the house, and where is it located?

And what does the texture seem like where you tried drilling?

My guess is it's lathe and plaster, but other possibilities exist...
