Gold Miner Spiral Wheel- help!

New to this whole thing. Trying to figure out why my wheel is spinning the opposite direction?

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..

It's my dad who got one he is just learning all this stuff and got one for free so he is just trying it out.

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
