Congrats on the 1266x, you will never get a machine to feel better in your hand than a 1266x. Did you get a pretty nice one? If you have time a feel up to it I am sure most would like to see some pictures of it. I always enjoy checking them out on the auction sites. Those machines have been through a lot over the years. I have had both the 1266x and the 1265x both were good machines.
My brother MarkCZ was out in his front yard messing around with one of his detectors and a neighbor came over and gave him a pretty nice 1266x, now that was a good deal.
I still have my 1270 but I haven't been using it much, it is kind of a collectors detector. I got it off my brother Mark and he got it from Bill Ladd of the Diggers show and it is signed by Bill and was used on one of the shows. It's a good detector but a little on the heavy side for my bad wrist.
