    Frustrating Nails...

    Hey all, I've been using the 1270 a ton lately. Hits mega hard on coins and such. Easily the deepest detector I've ever used beep and dig or otherwise. One thing that is annoying as all get out is its love for nails. Last night I was doing a section of my back yard that's fairly clean of non...

    In Laws yard with the 1270.

    Hey guys, did my in laws yard for the first time ever. Managed a 1917 Wheatie, 3 Chinese Coins of some sort. They say King George the Sixth on the front and Hong Kong Ten Cents on the back. One was 1949 and the other two were 1950. Also found a token. On the front it says "W.A Schabel, all kinds...

    Second full outing with the 1270.

    Hey all, finally got out again to one of my usual spots. Dug the usual pull tabs and assorted junk but did manage to get a few coins. I got a 1929 wheatie at 3 inches and a 1930 wheatie at 7 inches. Both from a spot that has been pounded by a ton of machines. An e-trac, a whites v3i, and a...

    snow WAS almost gone.

    Hey guys. Last week the show was all gone here, other than where it was plowed up real high. Well this week we had a surprise snowfall that dropped 4 inches on us and tonight they're calling for another one that might drop up to 9 inches. Sure am sick of this nasty weather. So excited to...

    First hunt with the 1270.

    Hey all, detected a small field near my house that for some reason had no snow in it. I didn't stay long because I was half frozen but I did dig a coin. I was using the small coil and got a nice loud signal. Then when I pinpointed it it sounded deeper. Ended up being a 53 wheat penny at at least...

    Tesoro disc at depth?

    Hey all, I was wondering if any of you have dealt with this issue. With my Vaquero I would get a perfect deep signal, I'd turn the disc up to max as to get an idea of the target. With the disc at max I would still have a perfect signal. Then after digging the target it would bedeep ppull tabs...

    In my neck of the woods....

    Hey all, typically we are able to detect this time of the year in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This is how it looks outside right now. Look at the height of the snow outside our church door.

    Odd air test with the 1270.

    Hey gang, I've been doing some airtests with my new to me 1270. Noticed something peculiar. I get the same depth 10 inches on an Indian Head as I do on a Morgan dollar. Basically all the coins I tried were the same other than a dime which was a little less. Tried all the coils too. You think a...

    Can't wait til the 1270 gets here.

    Hey all, finally got my taxes deposited and was able to purchase the 1270 with 3 coils from WV62(Ron). Can't wait to try her out. Also ordering The Raven from predator tools. Looks like a dandy shovel. I think I may also purchase the 10.5 coil if I can find one at a reasonable price. -Jay

    CZ Ground Balance

    Hey all, where do your CZ's usually ground balance and what does it mean? In my area in Northern Michigan my CZ70pro usually ground balances at about 3, I don't know if that's mild or hot. -Jay

    Best and/or Deepest finds with the 1270.

    Hey all, sitting up here in the frozen tundra...wishing I could go detecting. I've been reading all I can about Fisher 1200 series detectors, the 1270 especially. I was curious, do any of you folks have any real deep or real awesome finds with the 1270? -Jay

    More videos on the 1270.

    Hey fella's, Man I wish there was some more videos of folks using the 1270. I'm in northern Michigan and the closest I can get to metal detecting is watching Youtube videos. Better than nothing I guess...lol....I've seen a few 1270 vids basically just doing some tests but I've never seen a video...

    Fisher 1270 vs Tesoro Vaquero.

    Hey all, been wanting to try out a 1270 and was curious of a few things. I had a Vaquero which I liked a lot but one thing I didn't like is that on deep coins the signal became somewhat choppy and it kind of sounded like a slightly disc'd out target. I also had a Fisher 1236 and while not as...

    Copper Indian Artifacts w/1236x2

    Hey all, been using my new 1236 and have been finding some nice coins. What I'm really happy about is the Native American copper items I've been getting the past few days. 2 spear/arror heads, an awl, and not sure what the other one is...could be a scraping tool of some kind or possible just a...

    1236x2 Settings.

    Hey all, just got a new to me 1236x2 today and was testing it out. Air tests and just taking it for a spin in my yard. I have a few questions if you would be so kind to chime in. One, I wasn't that impressed with the air tests, is it noticeably deeper in dirt? Also, I set the Disc all the way...

    Repeated At Pro Problem.

    Hey guys, my brother got an At Pro last year and it worked great...until he plugged the headphones in. Once the headphones were plugged in that first time the external speaker basically quit working. You couldn't detect without headphones because the speaker got so quiet. So finally two weeks...

    Token found with the Cortes,

    Hey all, went out yesterday in the woods. One of my usual spots. Got a Indian Head signal at 4-5 inches. Turned out to be a token. Eagle Mfg Company Chicago. Good for 5cents in trade. I've found many tokens but always for a saloon, or cigar or something of that nature. What the heck could you...

    Cortes Users Question.

    Hey all, all day today I was getting solid deep 95 signals from multiple angles which turned out to be pulltabs. Also, I just dug a 6 inch deep solid 95 and it turned out to be a 1918 Buffalo nickel. This doesn't seem right to me, anyone else experience that?

    Cortes Hunt 4/19

    Hey guys, braved the cold today and finally got my first silver with the Cortes. I got a 1963 Rosie and a 1880 Indian Head. The Rosie was 6-7 inches deep and gave such a nice signal.
