The Desert Fox Automatic Gold Panning Machine is a compact and lightweight gold panning machine that can be taken anywhere. With a 12.5 inch diameter wheel and weighing under 10 pounds, even with a rugged folding stand, the Desert Fox can be easily stored in its Action Packer tub. The machine can be operated right out of the tub, or it can be removed and used 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 the gold into the tube-shaft and into a hanging gold catch-cup. The machine’s pitch adjustment and water spray system help to “tune out” the black sand. This variable speed Desert Fox Automatic Gold Panning Machine is designed to conserve water and will operate on just 3 gallons.

The machine sets up quickly and easily and can run 70 pounds of concentrates in an hour. It is both a separator and a concentrator in one self-contained panning machine and is able to recover an amazing amount of flour gold, ensuring that you never lose even the smallest pieces. The Desert Fox operates on any 12-volt automotive battery or even a 35 watt solar panel (not included). The machine comes with an owner’s manual and a set of 5 nesting classifiers made of tough ABS plastic that are 5.75 inches across and 3.5 inches tall. The set includes 10, 20, 40, 60 mesh pots and a solid bottom tub.
