Question 1

Will this work with sandy material? i have a hard time panning but enjoy finding gold. so i would run classified material. will not be buying the trom

Accepted Answer

YES! Manufacturer suggests screening your sandy material to 10 mesh. The Desert Fox can run 70 pounds of concentrates in an hour-- it's both a separator and a concentrator in one self-contained panning machine. Recovers an amazing amount of flour gold so you never lose even the smallest pieces (which all add up!). Machine designed to conserve water and will operate on just 3 gallons. Have fun getting the gold!

Question 2

Can the wheel recover flour gold?

Accepted Answer

YES, BUT! You NEED a good supply of Jet Dry dishwashing cleanser. It changes the surface tension of the water and keeps just such small, light gold, mostly anyway, in the cup. Most important is to control the = of the water pressure+ the Pitch angle of the wheel itself+ and how well you classify the material down to mostly black sand. One scoop of a tablespoon of 3, will shoot gold into the cup within 5-8 seconds if there’s a good amount of gold in the source material. It took me hours to figure out how to balance all that. But once I did, I got gold pretty much from anything I dig up. Crush rocks in LA county and youve got one Oz per ton of dirt according to the USGS reports. I hope I can get a better filter for the pump and a better pump. It’s just sucking in and ripping the stocking. Nd. Accessories. Oh, one more variable, speed. Get the one with the speed control too so you dial it in how it works.

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. Contact Desert Fox in Quartzite Arizona. You can get all parts to rebuild this unit. I got the motor, the spray bar and center sleeve
