In working on the history of salt marshes it is often necessary to have a capability to obtain subsurface material. There are many systems available for obtaining these samples however, most of these devices are expensive, difficult to operate, and excessively heavy. Some small-diameter coring devices are simple enough to operate, however, they obtain only a small sample which has limited uses. The device that will be described here is a posthole auger driller. This device has been used by others (Mudie 1975, Scott 1976) but only to depths of 4 m. Here a method will be described by which depths as great as 18 m can be reached using the auger. The auger has the advantages of being inexpensive to purchase, lightweight for easy transport, easy to operate for two people, and able to obtain a fairly large sample.
