The Wildco® Ogeechee™ sand
corer is the first sampler to effectively sample
most bottom sands. The Ogeechee™ sand corer is a
low cost core sampler designed for coring in fresh,
salt, or brackish waters. The top closing valve is
located inside its solid 316 stainless steel head
assembly, and is under full control of the operator
by means of its own closing line. The closing valve
design provides for long life of both the valve and
valve seat and for tight sealing against air leakage
under sandy conditions. When cleaning and
lubricating is desired, the entire valve and valve
seat are easily removed, cleaned, and/or replaced.
The Ogeechee™ sand corer was designed to
sample in swiftly moving water with the use of an
extension handle up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) long.
Extension handles allow both twisting and downward
pressure to work together to obtain a long core
sample in firm or sandy bottoms. In depths greater
than 4.5 meters (15 feet), the Ogeechee™ Sand-Pounder
corer can be hammered into the sand with the
optional drive hammer.
The drive hammer is used to drive only the
Ogeechee™ Sand-Pounder corer into the sediments
and sand by repeated lifting and dropping of the
drive hammer. The drive hammer will severely damage
other corers. Caution: clays, heavy soils, or long
cores may make sampler removal difficult, requiring
a power winch!
Ogeechee head assembly fits all 51 mm (2")
threaded corer tubes and their accessories.
