Basic Principles:
We have to confess, that the Goldblitz Magnetite Magnet is not a completely new invention, but existing solutions were checkt, then improved and implemented 'the right way' and in established quality. The result is a tool, where the inner life is completely made out of stainless steel and which is equipped with a powerful neodyne magnet (inside a stainles steel cage). The magnetic force is tuneable by adjusting the cap distance and the spring was adapted to do so. There is no reason, why it shouldn't last for 100 years. I recommend the toll to all those, who work with flitters in a environment with a lot of black sand.
A second application is the direct testing of dry sand if you try to assess the place if it is worth to dig a hole. Magnetite is of course not always the follower of gold, but other way around (no magnetite), it's maybe better to look elsewhere.
We recommend the Goldblitz Magnetite Magnet if used together with the prospector's package or the Starter Packs of our sluices!
Mode of operation
If you washed your pan down to the black sand, now comes the time for the Magnetite Magnet: add more water to the pan and now move the magnet with some distance over the black sand. Don't plug it in the black sand like a spoon in the soup! I saw this several times in the internet! If you are looking for flitters, some will got stuck between the magnetite and thus will get lost. Only hover over the surface and all under the water surface! Strip the tip of the tool every now and then, don't let a large beard grow on the tip! If no new magnetite will arise, shake gently and try again. Now you will either have only a few black material in your pan or it is now easy to do another wash!

Description of accessories:
We are proud to say, that the Goldblitz Ultra is definetly the best pan in Europe and maybe at all (see description below, why we are that enthusiastic about it). The pan must not miss in any equipage of a goldpanner. If you working with a sluice box, two pans are recommended (see my book for details, only available in german at the moment). We incorporated first and foremost our own experience in building that pan, and at least three goldpanning champions disussed the design with us.
With the Prospector's Package, you are ready to jump in the creek. Two Ultra pans (colour of your coice) a sieve and small glas bottles is everything you need to start goldpanning. See the pans in the shop for a description of the different colours.
With the Starter Packs, we arranged the most used items to one big assembly. You are ready to go with it. Please see the description of the single items in the shop for further details!
