GPS Coordinates (center point): 9.958630,125.595584
Date: October 10, 2021 Starting Time: 6:05 am End Time: 7:01am
Weather Condition: Windy and a little bit rainy
Media: Soil with sand
Types of Sample: MIS Discrete

Approx DU Area ( e.g m2 ) : 1.55 DU Depth Interval (e.g., 0-6’): 0.6

Number of MI Increments: 1

Sampling Spacing (feet, Meter, etc.): none

Sampling Equipment: Round steel tube as sampler, hammer, bolo, meter tape/ruler, cellophane, marker,
camera, melted candle

Soil Description: fines gray soil, trace sand, some gravel

Field Processing: First, I prepared all the materials needed for this activity and then proceed to the location where
I conduct this activity. Through the GPS I found the coordinates of the site where I conduct this activity. The
coordinates is 9.958630,125.595584. I layout the test pit using ruler (100cm-1m) measured 1mx1m. I dig it using
shovel with the depth of 0.6m. I get the soil below soil depth which considered as disturbed sample and put it on the
plastic sealed cellophane. I put the metal tube at the center and hammer it until the desired height. I slowly remove it
and put on the plastic cellophane the when I get home I melt the candle then put it on the bottom of the metal tube to
avoid disturbance of the soil inside the metal tube.

Approximate Bulk Sample Volume/Mass: 0.6 kg increment

Sample Container: Plastic cellophane

Number of replicated Collected: 1
