Well as a result of reading many of your posts...................I've purchased a Fisher 1270X. Wonder why all of your 1270 comments are in the "F" forum and not in the "Classic" forum which is supposed to be about the 1200 series of detectors?? Anyways, I'm glad I stumbled upon them. Your ramblings, peaked my curiosity and after actually air testing the Fisher 1270X ........I bought one. I think this unit will be a "deep" seeker. Only thing that concerns me is that a few of our local dealers told me that the 1270 will not be hot on gold rings!! As well they told me that no serious coin hunters would bother with this machine...that also concerned me.But are these guys really just blowing smoke?? I like to do "dry sand" beach hunting in the summer for coins & jewelry. In some of the Garrett and Whites ads they actually reffer to the 8.2 KHZ as better for gold detection. I know 15KHZ is better for natural gold.......but that is not what I'll be looking for!!What is your experience with this machine and it's gold ring hunting abilities? Soon I will be going out with my new 1270 and I hope to put up some posts on my progress...but they will be in the "Classic " forum...after all I'm a Classic guy using a Classic detector. Hope Bob and other Fisher 1270 X users will meet me there. Thanks Bob you've just made my day!!!
 
Funny! Theres a couple of posters on here, you know who you are, that I often mutter their names under my breath when I'm out hunting and hit a certain target...generally for me, it turns out to be just what it sounded like, either a pulltab or a penny. For them on the other hand, its generally a huge gold ring!
These forums sure sharpen us one against the other into much better hunters just from reading the posts. Good Luck, and deep oldies for ya! :detecting:

My dad bought a 1270 for the beaches here in north texas, and let me tell you he has found more gold than you could believe. As well as old coins too its a great machine if that's your style of hunting.
 
Are there any Fisher 1270X operators here? Wondering if Bob is basically the main expert on this unit.....if anyone else could chime in with tips and tricks it would be most appreciated...thanks.
 
Been using the 1270 for years, deep seeking detector, on relics and coins. Any help you need just ask away, be glad to help, there s a ton of info on the classic forum. but you can PM me or just ask out right.
