Fisher 1270 vs Tesoro Vaquero.

Iron disc has a much more refined adjustment. Regular discrimination mode has a very short range that all Iron falls into, so the other three quarters of the discrimination is non ferrous metals, Iron disc is a FULL range of just iron giving much more adjustability in ALL iron.

Mark
 
To go along with Mark's explanation. How about a little example of how you may want to use the iron disc. Lets say you were hunting around an old house foundation, may as well make this interesting lets say early 1700's. Now you dig like 11 of these nails that are bugging you. You can when running in iron disc, crank it up just enough to take them rascals out.

If you get the right area some folks run in iron disc set at max and in theory you should only get big iron and non-ferrous targets. Now we all know it's not a perfect world and a few other other items may sneak in.

It's another tool for us to think of some ways to make it work for us.

Now one control I can't come up with much use for is the silencer, may as well run with the machine turned off. Kind of like fishing with no bait.:lol:

So it kind of seems like the Iron Disc mode is like the disc on a Coinstrike then. I figure Normal mode would work for 90% of my detecting. -Jay

Well, maybe a little.

On the Coinstrike Iron disc is still just the lower side of the normal discrimination mode and not part of the All-Metal mode.
The Iron disc on the 1270 is for the All-Metal mode as I understand it.
Its supposed to be a very WIDE range in just the lower part of the Iron range (More Refined) and able to disc out smaller unwanted iron, and do so in All-Metal if I have that correct.

Difference,
Lower Discrimination of the normal disc mode,
vs
Lower Iron discrimination in the All-Metal mode.

And somebody correct me if I'm wrong?

The idea behind this mode is the Relic hunter, I mean were talking about this disc feature has a HUGE adjustment in the iron range, but at the highest setting its still some tiny nail, or other small Iron. My Brother Ron told me that were the normal iron level starts out, is like the MAX of the iron disc range.

I think I understand Mark, seems like a mode for people who want to ignore iron nails and such but may want to dig some bigger iron relics. Either way, I've already decided I'm getting a 1270 and hopefully all of the coils for it. I think it will work great in the woods where I do a majority of my detecting. -Jay
 
Well, over the past few months my Brother Ron has been in and out of letting his 1270 go, he's okay with having two detectors but in some of his dealings and detector shopping he finds something else that he wants to try out.
So, He already had the Tejon,
then he got rid of his F75 (he just had to much money tied up in it for no more use than he got out of it)
then he gets the 1270,
then he just got an F5 for clad stabbing,
So at three detectors he has been up in the air about having three and two of them being beep & dig models. And I know that he's chewing at the bit of only keeping two, which means he's chewing at the bit to move one of them.

Now, I'm not saying anything for sure,
Nor, can I give any guaranties, but I know it wouldn't hurt to send him a PM and drop the idea on him, Its really bad weather here and he's most likely setting around looking at the three detector that he can't use at all (right NOW).

Your call!

Mark, No matter what I do I'm going to have to wait til we get our taxes back. I actually offered up my CZ-70 Pro for trade for a 1270 like a month ago and got offers but not a 1270 offer. Kind of glad now that it didn't trade because I'd love to have both. Save the CZ for the real trashy parks and use the 1270 in most other applications. I really appreciate you guys letting me chew your ear about the 1270. -Jay

It only effects IRON, so if you hear it Dig it!
 
They put a reinforcement plate inside for more strength.
 
Always been here Mark, There hasn't been much action on here.
 
I'll take that 1270 for everything, I do all types of hunting with it and its a BOMB. good on gold rings , deep silver, should say any silver, real deep coins LG's at 11's. Relic's,(iron Brass Bronze) buckles, with the 10.5 coil in a/M's be prepared to dig, Fantastic Machine!!! once you learn it It just click's in, unbelievable in the water, There she goes super DEEP. The 5" coil on the 1270 shoots down then the 5"range. A super stable machine even using high SEN. they put a Reinforcment plate in the control box, also a gasket or Silicone around the box housing, the mod's are list on Fishers web site. You could call Felix and ask about getting them done if you don't have the fix, he might do them out of warranty being a product improve, but don't quote me but it's worth a try. got plenty of tips on 1270,like WV62 said just shoot the questions out there, "Astupid question is the 1 not asked".
