Do you have the polarity on the battery terminals reversed?

Your welcome.. another thing is I'm wondering what your doing with a spiral wheel? I got one as my first piece of prospecting gear and found it useless..

Ok but don't be surprised with poor results from it. I bought one to separate black sand and gold and was disappointed. A small finishing sluice and blue bowl is the effective way to go for that.

Good to know thank you

Run correctly and not bad. Screen to 1/4"- and run laid back about 15 degrees to ONLY capture the black sands/gold. Tilt forward more vertical till gold removed from black sands. Can't mix apples and oranges and expect good results. A simple mini sample tool or cons recovery tool they all are and not mining tools really. Ifn' it ain't got a hole through the middle to a catch bucket,it ain't worth a diddle-John
