This machine works great. You can run the material once and pan no more color in pan. I think its one of the better machines on the market. But the material must be completly dry before running it.

A dry washer with something to do with electrostatic charge attraction.
I read a post on it some time ago at the ArizonaGoldProspectors

I have one, and it works exactly how they say it works. It's a great machine. You can run a five gallon bucket of concentrates through it in about 10-15 minutes, and it gets virtually all the gold out in one pass. It's worth the money.

It's a electrostaic drywasher and needs a adjustable offset eliptical weights as introduced by PESCO waaaaay back in 1982. Nothing new at all-works the best if the hopper is designed properly-VERY big if-tons a au 2 u2 -John

Re: gold exorcist

I would love to hear other people's opinion on this machine. I just bought one, hoping to find a better way to work the sand in the desert. It's been wet here last two months, so may be a few weeks before I can truly test it out. If it works half as well as Ron Coen's ads claim, I will definitely be reporting back here.

 

[silvercop]

so all of your concentrates have to be dry? there is a place i go close to home that has just piles of dirt from a creek bottom. i was wondering if i classified it down could i run it through this system instead of a high banker?

 

[Mojave Jack]

From what I have heard you need to classify your material to 1/8 of an inch. And yes, the material must be dry. Apparently the system works off of an electro-static charge, so the dryer your cons the better.

I have yet to test it, but plan to run some cons I have collected through it this week. I have panned these cons pretty thoroughly, so I am interested to see if the Exorcist recovers anything I may have missed. There's a fairly decent youtube video on this subject. Do a search at youtube on Gold Exorcist and one video shows up. Also, you can visit Ron's website:

He has a video link about halfway down called Operation Video that is interesting.

I purchased one of these machines to recover the micro Gold from the
ground up ore from my claim.

This machine does not work on my particular ore it is too small and just blows away with the dust.

How ever, I cheated when I used it on other ore, I purchased some higrade ore from
Alaska, it weighed 22 pounds.
I hand picked out of the higrade all the small nuggets about 22 of them, then I ran all the 22 pounds of higrade over the Gold Exorcist it took about 1 minute.

I panned out the concentrates from the riffles on the Exorcist... 1st Run.



Then I ran the cons again through the Exorcist ... 2nd Run.



This machine does work, it just does not work on my particular ore.



This is how fine the Gold Dust is from my ore.

Thanks for your input, and the photos. Nice looking gold.

Regarding your micro gold, I remember reading in the gold exorcist manual that you should turn your blower volume down to about 50-70 mph to recover micro gold.

What speed are you running your blower? I've owned my gold exorcist for all of one week, and sadly it has been raining non stop since the day I ordered it. this will clear out soon, and I can give her a run for the gold myself. If it works half as well as advertised I plan on becoming a permanent resident on my claim.

I'll have to try the machine one more time on my Ore when I get the time.

The blower I used came with the machine, no speed adjustment of air, it

was just on or off.

 

[Mojave Jack]

One other trick I would try if the blower volume cannot be reduced is to open the gate up to 1/4 inch, or a little more. this would cause the material to flow through faster and may allow the filter to capture your micro gold before it blows away. I would also try running the material through several times.

Prior to buying the gold exorcist I called and talked to Ron. He seems very approachable. Give their 800 number a call and talk to Lucy or Ron. They may have some ideas.

thanks for the info. most of the gold near me is flour gold. guess i will pass on this machine for now
