## Overview

The Desert Fox Automatic Gold Panning Machine is a lightweight, portable, and water-efficient gold recovery system featuring a 12.5-inch spiral wheel with 7 spirals that capture gold 7 times per rotation at 105 RPM. It processes up to 70 pounds of concentrates per hour and operates on a 5 amp power supply, eliminating the need for batteries. Designed for easy setup and use, it folds into a compact Action Packer tub, making it ideal for professional and hobbyist prospectors seeking efficient fine gold recovery in remote or desert environments.

## Description

The Desert Fox is a compact, light-weight gold panning machine you can take anywhere. Weighing under 10 pounds even with a rugged folding stand, it folds up and stores neatly in its Action Packer tub. Operate it right out of the tub, or remove it from the case and use it in a stream. The Desert Fox spiral wheel has 7 separate spirals which pick up GOLD 7 times with each rotation of the wheel (105 times per minute). The 7 spirals dump gold into the tube-shaft and into a hanging gold catch-cup. The Desert Fox's pitch adjustment and water spray system help you tune outinch the black sand. This variable speed Desert Fox Automatic Gold Panning Machine is aptly named because it was designed to conserve water and will operate on just 3 gallons. It sets up quickly and easily and 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. Operates on any 12-volt automotive battery or even a 35 watt solar panel (NOT included). Ships with an owner's manual. Quick and simple set up: First take everything out of the Action Packer Tub (case), then spread out the stand legs and place them back into the case, and secure them with wing nuts (included). Then you drop the wheel into the slot and secure the spray bar to the front of the drive unit and tighten its wing nut and hang the collection cup in place. You’re now ready to go! Fill the case with enough water to at least cover the pump (about two-thirds full). Hook up your battery cables to your power supply and turn it on and start getting that GOLD! - 3 amp power supply eliminates the need for a battery to power your Desert Fox when working at home or in your garage. Simply plug the unit into a house outlet and hook the clips onto the Desert Fox.

Review: 5 stars with a big caveat. - I am giving the seller 5 stars, but not the manufacturer. When I received this, I was excited. But after I assembled it, I discovered it was missing the end cap for the spray bar. So when I turned it on, the water flowed out the end, and the sprayer couldn't work. I reached out to the seller, who responded in only 2 hours. They said that they would contact the manufacturer to have one mailed to me. It took another week to get the cap. I do not blame the seller, but the manufacturer. It's very exasperating not to be able to use something you've been looking forward to getting. Especially for the price I paid. Once again, I want to thank the seller for making it right.
Review: Excellent auto panner - This thing was super easy to set up and use. I ran some Kenai Alaska paydirt through it and it recovered all of the gold… not one speck in the tailings at all… excellent buy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 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**
A: 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!

**Q: Can the wheel recover flour gold?**
A: 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.

**Q: Can I buy the motor only?**
A: 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

**Q: Is this the updated version?**
A: Yes.
