Abstract
A device for excavating a precise plug of sand from a sand surface and umbrella assemblies are shown and described. In particular embodiments, a plunger includes a distal portion having a cavity, an elbow, and an elongated body separating said distal portion and the elbow. The result is a plunger and umbrella assemblies for excavating a precise, uniform hole substantially equivalent to the pole diameter.
