"in caso di siti di indagine caratterizzato da terreni difficilmente campionabili, ovvero in terreni coesivi di elevata consistenza o con presenza di clasti, nei quali non sia possibile l’infissione di campionatori a pistone/pressione precedentemente descritti, XXXXX [the client] può richiedere il prelievo di campioni mediante l’utilizzo di appositi campionatori a rotazione a doppia parete con *scarpa* tagliente avanzata o altri campionatori a doppia parete appositamente modificati (tipo NT6S modificato)"
Is this a core drill bit?
All suggestions are welcome. |

| | shoe | Explanation:
This wikipedia page lists a series of soil sampling devices. One of them, (the split-spoon sampler), uses a "hardened metal drive shoe" attached at the bottom end. There is another sampler that has a "toe" just to keep on with the foot language. Could it be this easy?
