How your Gold Magic Works
The 17-inch Gold Magic® pan is computer designed for maximum gold recovery. As
the wheel turns and you deposit material into the wheel, some of that material will im-
mediately move up the wheel into the concentration cup. As gold and other more dense
material arrives at the concentration cup, it replaces less dense material in the cup so that
the center cup is continually lling with the most dense material in the pan. This process
starts as soon as you introduce material into the pan and is complete within a matter of
minutes. There are 69 agitator knobs, (1B), in the primary processing area of the Gold
Magic pan. These agitator knobs move through the material in rapid succession causing
it to mix and tumble, all designed to quickly get the gold into area (1-C). The larger, low
density materials will be expelled
from the pan while the heavier,
smaller materials (black sand, gold,
platinum, and gemstones) will be
carried up the spiral rife into the
removable concentration cup.
( Area 1) This is the primary clas-
sication area - all materials, sand,
gravel, etc. (wet or dry) is shoveled
into this area. Large size and most
low specic gravity materials roll
out of the pan as it rotates. Heavy
weight materials (gold) sink to the
lowest point at the joining of rife
and the pan (1-C) and commence
rotating toward areas (2,3,4).
( Area 2) This is the rife transition and large nugget recovery area. Nuggets too large to
spiral up the rife in area (3) into concentrate cup (4) will remain in area (2) until visually
sighted and removed.
( Area 3)This is the secondary classication area. The heavy material, (high specic
gravity) like gold, platinum, our gold and black sand, will continue to travel at the low
point where the rife joins the pan (1-C), to area (4). Most light (low specic gravity)
material falls from the rife in area (3) and it’s ultimately ejected from the pan.
( Area 4) Final classication area. Here you immediately see the results. The gold settles
in the removable cup (4). As it continues to tumble wet, it is “cleaned up” with a gentle
splash of water and is ready for removal. Dry gold concentrate is removed from here for
nal wet cleanup.
