Ogeechee Corer 2427
For firm or sandy bottoms Valve tension adjusts for best sealing Top valve closes by a separate line Interchangeable head fits all 2" liner-type core tubes
Product Description
We won't build our castle on shifting sands, but we can use our Sand-Pounder to sample them! This tough, no-nonsense instrument is the first design ever to obtain long core samples in firm or sandy bottoms. Because it has its own closing line, the top valve in the head assembly is under full control. You can adjust the valve tension so it seals tightly and does not leak air.
The Ogeechee can be used in fast-moving water up to 4.5 m (15') deep with the use of an extension handle.
Operation is simple: twist and thrust downward into the sand. Extension handles come in three lengths.
For deeper water, we suggest the optional drive hammer (2428-E27). As the name implies, this hefty device drives the Sand-Pounder into the bottom by repeated lifting and dropping. Since the hammer can damage other corers, use it with the Ogeechee only.
A long sample of clays or heavy soils may be hard to remove: you may need a power winch.
