Wildco® Hand Corer

The simple design of this bottom sediment sampler is the key to its versatility. In shallow waters, the sampler can be pushed into the sediment using the handles on the head assembly. If water depth permits, extension handles of 5, 10 or 15 ft. can be used to sample from boats or docks. In deeper water, the sampler can be dropped by attaching a line to the clevis, located on the head assembly between the handles. A simple flap valve allows water to flow through the sampler during descent and close tightly when removing the sampler, minimizing sample loss. Corer takes a 2" diameter sample and measures 20" long. All parts are constructed of 316 stainless steel.

Corer is available in two styles: Standard Core Tube without liners or a Liner-Type Core Tube that accepts removable plastic or stainless steel liners. Standard Tube Corer includes stainless core tube and head assembly. Liner-Type Tube Corer includes threaded stainless core tube, two Lexan nosepieces, two plastic liners with end caps and three eggshell core catchers for retaining soft sediments. Both corers are available with or without carrying case.
