Materials and construction specifications are detailed for a soil sampling system comprised of a slide hammer driver, an open probe, a core probe, and a probe puller. Intact soil cores, contained in clear plastic tubing, can be extracted from a site with minimal disturbance. Replaceable hardened steel tips facilitate sampling soils with rock fragments and high concentrations of roots. This soil sampling system is portable, versatile, and durable
