Massive Gold Find Gold Prospecting Gold #3

first of all bullion cannot be dug up.

a bullion is a gold bar that is .999% pure

it has been refined by a melter

so what you want is a 100 oz nugget.

if you do find a 100 oz nugget you will be the most famous person in the world

you might be like theese aussies that find 100 gram nuggets.

and if you want to dig one up you will need a metaldetector (minelab)

try alaka or even arizona
australia has been known to have the biggest

top stuff sign me up

so all this rotopan does is classify the bigger rocks? why not just get a classifier? It seems like a pain to have to use your bucket to pan the remaining gold.

NOT SO, gold stops in collection tray beneath bowl.Waste drops in bucket.
Gold keeps accumulating in collection tray, bucket after bucket and if you keep going, you would fill the tray with gold.
When rotate bowl, the underside auto works the light fines from the collection tray.
Hope this clears up the point you were trying to make.
If you use just a classifier, remove say 20% of the oversize, you still have to to pan all undersize – not a good idea!!!! You would wear out.
Thanks John

I am at Ecuador, and am ecuadorian. I think we found gold somewhere in mountains slopes of Andes. Who can help me find the right tools and ways to analize gold from fools gold etc?…
Thanks

I can see a mechanized version of the rotapan. ( save my arms!)

It works verey nice

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.

John ROTAPAN

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)

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
time,

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 -

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

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)

Regards Jason

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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)

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)

I want my Rotapan now John, I'm still waiting?

mail/ Freight doesn't take that long from tha Land downUnder? or Does it? John?

great!

Holy Cavitation Batman…It came in tha mail yesturday, and it does work Great… Thank you John, I tried it out at tha river, hardly much gold in this part of tha country,,,,But what did turn up after first bucket full was a "Diamond", a very small one, but a diamond no-less. I did Not expect to find that, small as it is, it cuts glass like butter.

very cool, i wish i had more places to pan for gold around here and i would buy it, but maybe when i scrape together a few bucks ill go to college in dahlonega and buy one of these bad boys
