Gold Magic 12-10 Spiral Gold Panning Machine Kit with 12V Battery

The Gold Magic 12-10 is a spiral gold panning machine, often called a gold wheel, that does the panning for you: dump classified material onto the turning 17" spiral pan and the riffles walk the gold to the centre while the lighter sand rolls off. This kit is the ready-to-run version. It adds the 12-volt battery and charger, the wet separation tub, a finishing pan and a large scoop, so you can work a bucket of concentrates the day it arrives without hunting for a car battery.

Who the 12-10 kit is for

It is for prospectors who bring concentrates home, or run a sluice or dredge on site, and want a faster, more consistent cleanup than hand panning. If you mostly pan a few scoops at the creek, a good pan is still quicker to set up. If you already own a 12-volt battery and tub, the Gold Magic 10M wheel gets you the same spiral pan without the extras. Where the 12-10 stands apart from most spiral wheels is that it runs dry as well as wet, so desert prospectors can concentrate material where there is no water, then finish it wet at home. See the rest of our gold wheels and spiral panning machines to compare capacities.

How it works in practice

Set the machine on its stand, in the tub for wet running or on any level surface for dry, and switch it on; setup takes under a minute. The 17" pan has 69 agitation knobs moulded into the spirals that break up clumps and keep material moving, and the wheel takes feed up to 2 inches, so you can skip pre-screening on most material. In wet mode it works the material all the way down to clean gold. In dry mode it is a concentrator: Gold Magic rates it at 140 lb of material an hour, roughly two 5-gallon buckets, reduced to about two cups of concentrates that you finish wet. It recovers fine flour gold from black sand as well as pickers and small nuggets, which is the main reason to own one instead of a pan. There is no pump to prime and no hose, and the whole unit weighs about 10 lb with the battery, so it packs into the tub for the truck.
