The top end of one of the concave metal plates was attached to the end of a rigid rod, while the second plate (attached to the other plate only by its hinge) was left free in order that it could be opened. In operation the rod would be plunged into a hole and forced downward until the pod had filled with soil, then it would be lifted, and such soil and debris as were trapped within the pod was cleared by opening the door of the pod.
