Threaded Connection ⅝ "
Similar in form to a nuts and bolts system, the AMS threaded connection is reliable and simple to use. Always ensure connection types match when using AMS samplers.
Regular Soil Augers
AMS Regular Augers are designed for use in most soil types. The AMS regular soil auger is commonly used for obtaining disturbed soil samples at or near the surface and for boring to depths where soil samples may be obtained with a separate soil sampler or soil core sampler. The bits of the regular soil auger are open to allow entry of small soil clumps and relatively small rocks and particles.
Mud Augers
AMS Mud Augers utilize a laser-cut, open cylinder design for easy removal of heavy, wet, or clay soils. The AMS mud auger features two openings in the cylinder wall to facilitate emptying as well as wider spaced bits than the AMS regular soil auger to ease entry of sticky soils.
Sand Augers
AMS Sand Augers are designed for use in sands and dry soils. The AMS sand auger uses a closed bit design with a restricted opening to prevent the loss of sampled material during retrieval. The sand auger has a cylinder similar to the regular soil auger, but the inner edges of the sand auger bits touch at their mid point to make the sand auger a much more reliable auger in loose, unconsolidated soil conditions.
Dutch Augers
The AMS Dutch Auger allows you to easily collect disturbed soil samples in heavily rooted areas. Hand forged from high-carbon steel and honed to a fine cutting edge, this auger will cut through highly fibrous and heavily rooted soils. It is excellent for use in, forests, vineyards and orchards. The unique open design of the dutch auger also allows for easier removal of hard or wet soils.
Planer Augers
The AMS Planer Auger removes loose soil and other materials from the bottom of an already augered hole. This auger is fitted with a cutting blade on the underside of the auger cylinder. The flat, slotted design of the planer auger's head allows for the auger to remove loose material from the bottom of a borehole in preparation for collection of a soil core sample. The AMS Planer Auger is made with a carbon steel bail, stainless steel cylinder and tungsten carbide hard surfaced carbon steel cutting blade.
Edelman Augers
Edelman augers are widely used for the study of soil composition, soil profiling, and soil mapping. They feature a screw-like point at the base of the auger that enters into the soil as you push and turn the auger clockwise. The soil sample is guided into the auger by two vaulted vertical cutting blades. The vaulted design promotes soil digging and ensures a firm hold of the sample in the auger.
Flighted Augers
The triple-lead flighted screw augers are able to bore holes in compacted soil lithologies to allow the user to collect a disturbed soil sample. They weigh less than regular flighted screw augers, and they are constructed using carbon steel and a precise heat-treating and hardening process – making them some of the strongest soil augers available.
Flighted auger sampling kits that utilize powered drills are also available for those who need to go deeper, faster. *Not for Use with ANY Hammer Drills!

Angler-Driven Citizen Science: Monitoring Black Bass Populations in Arkansas
In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

New Buoy Boosts White Lake’s Water Quality Monitoring and Conservation
White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.

Flow Photo Explorer: Studying Flows in the Penobscot River Basin
The flow dynamics of rivers and streams play an essential role in the chemical and physical functions of aquatic ecosystems. In Maine, varying flows in the Penobscot River Basin have impacted the health of the ecosystem, water resource use, and habitat suitability for native species—topics of particular concern to the Penobscot Indian Nation , who have been protecting and managing the waterway for millennia. Parts of the Penobscot basin have been monitored by the USGS stream gage network, which covers larger streams and rivers but excludes many of the small streams found on tribal lands.
