    Fisher 1236 Battery Compartments. :rage:

    Hi Gang! I just added a nice Fisher 1236X2 to my Fisher stable as it's known for running quiet in iron laced areas. Had a good introductory hunt with it but ran into a problem when I went to remove the old batteries (last season's vintage) that I slipped into the compartments for the hunt...

    Fisher 1270: A fast or slow recovery machine?

    Hi Gang Spent a great weekend with our Grandaughter who is turning 11 in a few days time. As usual with Grandparents, we spoiled her rotten but why not?! She's our pride and joy! On the way back from Whitby, I got in a couple of hours this afternoon hunting a wooded area of a very old and...

    Trucking along with the 1270. :detecting:

    Hi Gang! Sure felt good to get out this weekend after the wet and messy one we had the previous week. I hit some local schoolyards and parks with my new 1270 which I'm putting some more training hours on. Running in a "beep and dig it all" style with the DISC at 2.5 and the SENS at 5, I dug...

    Training on the beach with my new 1270

    :detecting:Hi Gang! Was out this afternoon doing a self training session with my 1270 down at the beach. The beach is heavily used, heavily hunted and my aim today at the beach was to find and dig really deep targets and see if the 1270 lived up to its reputation as a deep seeker. Of course I...

    Large diameter search coils for the 1270 machine. :confused:

    Hi everyone! I know there are 10" open face spider or elliptical coils available for the Fisher 1270 and I was wondering whether there are other specialty coils such as the 12" Sunray FX12 model that's made by Sunray for the CZ series of machines. I've never seen anything like that offered for...

    First Impressions with my new Fisher 1270 Machine.

    :twodetecting:Hi Gang! A number of people have expressed interest in seeing how the Fisher 1270 works. It's my pleasure to bring you a series of impressions based on different personal hunts with this little known and sometimes controversial machine. People either love it or hate it. I'll keep...

    My new Fisher 1270 - Looking forward to using it.

    :detecting:Hi Gang! After over a year of careful research and assorted metal detector fevers (Minelab, Tesoro, Tecknetics and Fisher), I decided on the relic hunting machine I wanted to add to my stable of Fisher 1280 and CZ-5 stallions. I've taken delivery of a Fisher 1270 which is a pretty...

    Best Find Ever with Made with our Aquanaut 1280.

    [attachment 32013 SARing.JPG] [attachment 32014 SARingSide.JPG] Hi Gang! We got out this afternoon and hit a local park or two. Working outward and circling around a picnic table, I was digging beer bottle caps by the score but persisted with the beep and dig it all approach with my workhorse...

    Aquanaut 1280 - aka "The Tank" and Great Stablemate to my CZ-5.

    [attachment 31541 Jerusulem.JPG][attachment 31542 TumRing.JPG][attachment 31541 Jerusulem.JPG]:lol:Hi Gang! The past few days, I've been taking my Aquanaut 1280 out and doing a "beep and dig it all" approach to hunting in local parks. The weather's been a little unstable too which motivates...

    Slow and Deep yields a 1944 U.S. Wheatie.

    :twodetecting:Hi Gang! Got out and hit a few local sites today. Dug just a little over $5.00 in modern day coins and the best find of today was a deeply buried 1944 U.S. Wheatie. This coin (about 6" down) gave an alternating high and medium tone plus a corresponding bounce on the analogue...

    CZ-5. Great workhorse detector and a rose by any name.

    :clapping:Hi Gang! Finally took the plunge and logged onto the Finds Treasure Forum group. My wife Louise and I have been ardent CZ-5 users for years. These machines, in our opinion, are one of Fisher's best series as they have not only terrific depth capabilites but they're also easy to...

    Metal Detecting in Virgina Beach

    :smile:Hi Gang! Greetings from Canada. We're thinking of visiting Virginia Beach in the early fall to do some land and water hunting. We wanted to check with those of you in the know regarding regulations for metal detecting this area. Do non residents need any type of permit to hunt the...
