The Vrijwit auger is a stainless steel wedge shaped sampler particularly suitable for taking undisturbed samples from clay, loamy sand and soil that contains a lot of un-decayed material. It is also extremely suitable for taking samples from small, shallow waterways or banks in which a lot of roots and dead organic material is present.
Rectangular samples collected with the Vrijwit auger can be accurately described with the stratification and composition of the soil and the size of the retrieved sample enables sub-sampling for volatiles.
