Looks bloody brilliant. So simple and effective. Loved the chooks in the background noise.

volume enough for the water overflow and the bucket in the tub. As you work the sands and gravel the water in the bucket is displaced as overflow into the tub and can be re-used. The extra 30 litres you have in your onboard tank is used as makeup water as you will have losses as you wet the sand and gravels.
By using this method, you will be able to go into dry gulch country.
Regards
John

If the gold was very coarse with size and weight, yes it would collect in the tray but you would certainly lose the small gold.
You will have to devote one of your racks to a small water tank, say 40 litres.
We normally put the ROTAPAN in a 20 litre bucket , but you could use a 10 litre bucket with the top the same as the 20 litre.This means you would need only 10 litres to fill your bucket on start up. You then sit the bucket in a high sided collection tub

A customer asked:
Does the Rotapan work as a dry pan. Sometimes I travel light on a Yamaha TW-200 motorcycle with racks.
Just wondered if you’ve tried it without water? Are you planning on designing a DRY version? Thanks, xxxxxxxxxxx My answer: NO The process depends on the difference in specific gravity water being 1 and gold being 19 and you need the water to dislodge gold particles from dry clay $ crevices in stones and rocks.

No- I ship from Australia and sending a $10 bucket is like sending air – the freight co charges by volume as well as weight. By the way, delivery of the ROTAPAN to North America is from 3 to 6 days, door to door and is insured.
That is fantastic given we are at the bottom of the world. A GREAT SERVICE.
YOU HAVE NO MORE TO PAY AT YOUR END.

CONTD 18TH aPRIL 2009
I re-panned all of my light material from the rotapan and only found one tiny piece of gold. So small my wife could barely see it.
This machine to the best thing I’ve ever used for panning gold. I even have a 3 inch highbanker dredge combo. I’m thinking about selling it. Because the richest creek where I live you can only pan and detect. Good luck. I’ll be buying one soon for each of my family members. Thank you William Moore
(THIS WAS TOTALLY UNSOLICITED – thanks W M)

Another Testimonial 18th April 2009
I would like to thank you for sharing your invention of the rotapan. This thing is pretty awsome. I use this in a rec. area where you are only allowed to pan and metal detect. I used this at home for the first time on a half of a 5 gallon bucket that had been classifed down with a half inch classifier before Iput the material in the rotapan I did this in under 7 minutes. Going slow because it was my first time using this great invention. (CONTINUED)

As I wrote before, I do not remain easily impressed. At 57, I have seen a lot of inventions, but none have matched yours. You appear to be a genius at heavy minerals concentration. As a school teacher (ex) I know everyone is gifted in varied areas. You have done it again. Congrates.
Please keep experimenting, my friend. Something else will come to mind.
Australia has always been a good friend of the US. We have always thought of you guys as brothers.

John,
I just admire my rotapan that goes into the top of the 5 gallon bucket. I think it is the neatest 21st century heavy mineral concentrator the world has seen. It is especially useful out here in the desert.
As you say in your neat country,CHEERS, MATE. You must be one heck of a mechanical engineer. I never took physics in my university degree, but have lots of mathematics under my belt. Engineers like you make life fun. Thanks buddy.

great video. do you think a whites beachhunter id would perform in desert conditions in the same manner as in wet conditions?

Well I took the plunge and bought one of these concentrators. I tried it in Stoney Creek where I always get the odd colour and sometimes a small nugget with my old tin pan. Well I gotta say, it amazed me, it was so easy and the gold I got paid for the concentrator that day. May have been a bit lucky, as the extra nugget in the top screen was a big help. Can’t tell you which Stoney Creek I was at, there are plenty of them, but then there is always another Stoney Creek. Jock(Nugget) Cranswick

AND responses from two of my first prospecting customers:-
One said: He would not tell his friends where he bought his Rotapan ??
And from another : after buying one Rotapan and using it he backed up for a spare one. We queried why – “just in case you go broke” strange but this is the absolute truth.
He lives in the State of Washington, USA and goes into the mountains.

Hi,
The pan turned up today. Thanks
I have already found some gold with it. I had a bucket of wash from the Palmer river. (North Queensland- AUSTRALIA)

Dear John,
Many thanks for the prompt delivery of the Rotopan I ordered. I received it about a week and half ago, but have been a little busy of late. Not to busy to try it out though! Just thought I’d let you know I had the chance to roadtest it recently, with excellent success. Great design, sturdy craftmanship and fantastic service. Well done! Cheers!
Kind regards, Shane

ERIC CONT’D (3)
and as soon as I began gently rotate the classifier downward I began to see the black sands bloom up through the centre. I continued to work the materials, and when I removed the pan there was hours of work done in a few minutes, without wasting a drop of water. I then hand-panned out the fine material and found more gold in that batch of fines, having used the Rotapan just twice, than I had found in a week of sluicing and panning.
Thank You,
- Eric -

ERIC CONT’D (2) and a whole lot of water, which is irreplaceable during the drought we are currently experiencing. As I’ve been panning the fine materials, with barely enough success to continue working the site, I had only dreamed of something that would save me so much work and water.
I saw the Rotapan and purchased one. When I first received it I tried the first batch, following the instructions. The results were not what I had expected. So I cleared out the pan and started second

From Eric of Arizona December 2005
I have never written to a manufacturer to praise a product, but the Rotapan is a blessing, Thank-you.
I am in and around the Superstition Mountains, in Arizona, and currently dealing with the worst kind of gold, in the worst condition. The gold is flat grain-size fine gold, like golden gunpowder, trapped in very heavy clay.
I’ve been working the site with a twenty-foot sluice, using a special aluminium classifying miner’s moss, (CONT’D 2)

Gold always has the same colour which ever way you turn the specimen. Fools gold will change sometimes to a sheen with colour change. Fools gold will dissolve in dilute nitric acid, gold will not. Once you have this in your mind, gold will always be gold.
