Congratulations on your purchase of the Gold Magic® Spiral Gold Recov-
ery System. Your new Gold Magic® will allow you to work more material
faster and recover more gold than ever before. This machine will work dry
to highly concentrate material. It will work wet in a tub to separate black
sand and gold. And can work right down in a stream to process material
and take home clean gold.
Please be sure to read all of the owner’s manual and watch the DVD all
the way through. This will instruct you in the proper use and care of your
Gold Magic®. Remember there is only one Gold Magic®, and it is so
unique, so revolutionary that nothing else works like it.

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.

SET-UP
GOLD MAGIC® Model 10M, 12E, 12-10
1-HOOKING UP THE BATTERY:
Your GOLD MAGIC was shipped with one of the power wires disconnected from the
switch. This is to prevent the unit from accidentally being turned on during shipping and
arriving with the battery discharged. This wire is attached to the battery with a sticker
instructing you how to connect it. Remove the cover of the Control Box by gently pulling
back on the two NY-Latches. You need to pull the wire free of the battery and push the
terminal onto the center termi-
nal of the switch.
2- BELT DRIVE TENSION
ADJUSTMENT:
The drive belt tension is adjust-
ed by loosening the two knobs
on the front of the axle bar and
moving the bar up or down.
The belt should be just tight
enough to prevent slipping.
Over-tightening will reduce mo-
tor life and operating time. The
toothed timing belt was chosen
for its ability to function, with
light tension, in wet conditions
without slipping.
3- PAN CLEANING & PREPARATION:
Before the rst use, (wet) we suggest that you clean the inside of the pan with alcohol or
liquid detergent to remove any mold release compound or oil that might be in the pan.
The molding production process and handling can result in a ne lm of oil on the sur-
face of a new pan. In water this oil will tend to impair the recovery of ne gold and acts
like a “life jacket” for that piece of gold and reduces its specic gravity and thus makes
it hard or impossible to recover. Do not use any abrasives in the process. You only want
to remove the surface lm of oil. You do not want to “rough up” the surface as this will
impair the recovery of ne gold.
4- INSERT THE PAN INTO THE HUB:
After you have cleaned your new pan and adjusted the belt tension, the last step is to
insert the knob on the back of the pan into the Hub. You do not need to push the pan all
the way in. Keep in mind that you will probably be frequently removing and reinserting
the pan.
5- INSERT THE CENTER CUP:
Push the removable center cup into the center of the pan and the setup is complete.

Working The Gold Magic
Set the Operating Angle of the Spiral Pan:
Loosen the black adjustment knob on the third
leg. Adjust the third leg to achieve and angle
of about 45 degrees to the horizontal for gold
recovery. For gem stones set the angle at about
30 degrees. An easy way to tell you are at the
45° angle is put your rst scoop of dirt into the
unit at the 3 o’clock position, it should rotate up
to approximately the 9 o’clock position on the
face of the pan.
If you are setting up your Gold Magic in a tub, ll the tub up with water until the water
level is at the center of the concentration cup as illustrated above. If you are setting the
pan up in a creek, pond, lake, etc nd a spot so that the water level will be at the correct
height. When working in a tub, we suggest that you add a few drops of dish washing de-
tergent or Jet Dry to the water in the tub to help recover ne gold by breaking the surface
tension of the water. It also helps to presoak dry material before you feed it into the Gold
Magic, as very ne gold that is dry is more likely to try and oat on the surface tension of
the water.
Turn the power switch to the “On” position and the spiral
wheel should start to rotate clockwise. Use a large scoop
or small shovel to feed the material into the pan at the 3 to
5 o’clock position. Make sure to pour your material into
the outer three rifes where the agitation knobs are. The
even ow of material gives the gold a chance to classify
and get behind the rife rather than ow out of the pan
on the top of the lightweight material being ejected at the
7 to 8 o’clock position. After shoveling into the pan for
several minutes, you will want to determine if you have
recovered any gold. You will note that the concentration
cup has lled with many kinds of foreign material. With your shovel or small container,
splash water into the center cup with a light rinsing motion while the pan is running. The
lightweight material will quickly rinse out of the concentration cup and the heavier gold
will remain in the cup. Should you splash some of the gold out of the cup, it will quickly
return during the next few revolutions of the pan. Keep rinsing until the gold is entirely
clean of any sand and then stop the pan immediately, remove the center cup and pour
your gold directly into a vial. Also check your black sand with a 30x power scope. The
gold may be smaller than what is visible to the naked eye.

Using The Gold Magic Dry:
If possible you should always use your Gold Magic in water. Gold has about a 5 to 1
specic gravity advantage over most material in water. However the Gold Magic works
very well with dry material. Keep in mind that the material must be dry to run it dry. If
you have damp material you need to run it in a wet process.
Place your Gold Magic® as near as possible to the material you want to process. Set the
pan at approximately a 45 degree angle and leave some area below the pan for remov-
ing the material falling from the pan. With a shovel/scoop, feed the pan with a steady
ow of material into the outside rifes at the 3 to 5 o’clock position on the face of the
pan. The gold quickly passes through the tumbling sand and gravel to settle against the
rife. The gold begins moving towards the concentration cup. When working dry, feed
your Gold Magic® a little slower to allow time for the ne gold to process through the
pan. If the gravel balls up in your hand, it is too damp to process dry. The material must
tumble freely. You should be able to process 5 gal. of material in 30 minutes. After 5 to
10 minutes, remove the concentration cup and dump the contents into a small gold pan
or tray. Check the concentrates with a 30X power scope set directly on top of the sand. If
you see some gold, dump the concentrate into your collection container and continue to
process. If you do not see any gold, move to the next location. Your chances of nding
gold improve greatly if you move frequently.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Gold Magic® Model 12E and 12-10
ELECTRICAL (This does not apply to 10M unit)
The motor, battery & charger operate on a 12 volt DC system. To remove the control cov-
er, gently pull on the Ny-latch fasteners on either side of the lid of the control box. The
battery wire is removed from the switch prior to shipping to avoid the unit being turned
on during transit. This wire is taped to the front of the battery. (The new battery is fully
charged). Attach the wire to the center spade of the switch. Leave the switch in the “off”
(center) position when not in use. Mover the switch up for “on” and down for “charge”.
BATTERY & CHARGER
The Gold Magic® has a built-in 110 volt AC/12 volt DC charger inside the control box.
Your battery should be fully charged when you receive it. To use the charger, attach any
extension cord to the prongs on the back of the control box and plug into 110 volt outlet.
Flip the toggle switch, on the outside of the control box, down to the charge position.
Eight to 12 hours will bring the battery back to full charge depending on how far the
battery has been discharged. Unlike Ni-cad batteries, our sealed gel-cell will reach full
charge from any point in its cycle.
WARNING! NEVER ATTACH A 110 VOLT AC CORD TO THE
GOLD MAGIC® WHILE THE UNIT IS IN WATER!!
Do Not Fully Discharge Battery.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE BATTERY WITH
YOUR AUTO ALTERNATOR.
SOLAR / DC CHARGER (optional)
Item # GM-6181
To connect the solar charger to the Gold Magic® remove the
“hole plug” that is located on the back of the control box.
Bring the pre-wired connector from inside the control box
through this hole and connect it to the solar charger.
The Gold Magic solar charger is always charging. The 7 watt
charger will add up to 10 hours per day of running time to
the Gold Magic®. The amount of charge will depend on the
amount of sun light, your latitude, longitude, the time of the
year and whether or not you keep the cell aimed at the sun.
This solar cell will produce some charge even under articial
light or cloudy days.
You can also use this connector to attach other 12 volt DC
sources to charge the battery when AC is not available for
the built-in charger. If you use this feature with a source
providing more than 750 mA do not leave it connected for
prolonged periods of time as this may result in the battery being overcharged.

GOLD MAGIC ® MODEL 10M and MODEL 12-10
Hand Crank Set Up and Operating Instructions
The Gold Magic ® 10M is set up and operated just like the other Gold Magic® units.
Follow the directions for the set up as listed previously. The only difference is that with
the Model 10M you will be manually turning the pan. If you purchased the MODEL 12-
10, with both electric and hand crank power, you received two drive belts. The longer belt
is to be used with the hand crank. You can store the belt that is not being utilized inside
the Control Box. The way to change operating modes is to change the belts. This is done
by unscrewing the two Axle Bar Knobs on the front of the axle bar. Push up on the bar to
release the pressure on the belt. Remove the current belt. Attach the new belt, push down
on the Axle Bar to set the correct pressure on the new belt and tighten the adjustment
knobs. Do not put too much pressure on the belt. Overtightened belts will increase wear
on the motor and bushings.
Turn the hand crank in a counter clockwise direction. There are arrows molded into the
face of your pan to show the proper direction. For best results rotate the pan at approxi-
mately 19 to 23 RPM.
Upgrading to a 12-10 Electric Powered :
To upgrade your Model 10M to a Model 12-10 you need to purchase the Gold Magic ®
Power Pack. Item number GM-9176. Everything is included to convert your Model 10M
to a Model 12-10.
CONVERT MODEL 12E TO 12-10
You can add the hand crank feature to any gold magic machine with the Hank Crank
Kit, item number GM-9170. This is the Hand Crank assembly, which bolts onto any
Gold Magic without the necessity of drilling or the need of special tools. The longer belt
needed for the hand powered operation is also included.
