GROUND CORE REMOVING TOOL

摘要

A manually usable turf and ground core cutting, extracting and replacing tool for use by exploratory-minded enthusiasts and collectors of buried metal coins, objects and artifacts having monetary or intrinsic value, as the case may be. It comprises a vertically elongated cylinder whose upper apertured end is provided with suitably convenient handle means and whose lower open end is provided with an annular cutting edge which can be pressed through the turf and forcibly embedded in the selected core taking area of the ground. A tubular plunger member is slidingly and operatively mounted on and in the cylinder and has a projectable and retractable core engaging head. A rod of requisite length is fitted for reciprocation in the hollow portion of the tubular member and is used (1) as an object searching and locating probe and (2) as a guide for the cylinder and plunger assembly.
