Yes, you can use a slide hammer tool to collect a soil bulk density sample at depth 

If you’ve collected a surface sample using a slide hammer sampler, the subsequent sample at depth requires a few additional steps to do it right.
Starting with the hole created by taking a surface soil bulk density sample, Marie Johnston, soil scientist, shows how to prepare the equipment, excavate the hole properly, position the sampler tool, and double-check that the depth was sampled correctly. This method accounts for the waste or discard material that naturally occurs between samples when using a slide hammer tool. We’ll also talk about planning for site conditions, thinking about the time required to handle each sample, and coordinating with others to potentially tag team the sampling effort.

Supplies shown in this video include: Hex quick pin slide hammer with 3-inch core sampler cap, stainless steel sampler cup of 3-inch diameter and 6-inch length, two stacked stainless steel sleeves of 3-inch diameter and length, and planer auger of 3-inch diameter.
