Anyone who prospects and pans for gold can tell you that working concentrates down with a gold pan is slow tedious work. Not only that, but it’s hard on the back and legs, and the efficiency rate for gold recovery is low. A lot of the gold is lost washing over the side of the pan. With the Desert Fox, you can work concentrates down much faster. More gold, less time, and a lot less work. And with this proprietary variable speed model, you can adjust for maximum gold recovery no matter what type of material you are panning. 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 is aptly named because it was designed to conserve water and will operate on just three gallons. It sets up quickly and easily and can run many pounds of concentrates per hour – it’s both a separator and a concentrator in one self-contained panning machine.

The Desert Fox spiral wheel has seven separate spirals which pick up gold seven times with each rotation of the wheel (105 times per minute). The seven spirals dump gold into the tube-shaft and into a hanging gold catch-cup. This method is far superior to other types of spiral wheels which do not pass the gold through the center of the wheel into a hanging cup. The Desert Fox wheel with its pitch adjustment, adjustable water spray system plus variable speed control helps the operator “tune out” the black sand. Operates on any 12-volt 7-amp DC power source. Use an automotive battery or even a 35 watt solar panel. Comes complete with an easy-to-understand owner’s manual and a video, and a bag of practice sand containing real placer gold is also included with every Desert Fox so you can get acquainted with your new machine and see how efficient and easy it is to use. The Desert Fox is also available with Variable Speed Control. Desert Fox has a Five Year Limited Warranty.
