If you are after coins and relics, go with the 1265x. it is not a simple turn on and go machine but it has very good discrimination and can find coins at good depth. take the time to learn this machine and you will do well.
The Scorpion is an excellent gold detector with an operating frequency of 15khz and calibrated TR mode for ore sample testing for metal content and very good ground balance capability. The disc mode, is good on coins and relics but not as deep as the Fisher. The Fisher runs at 6. something khz , I cannot recall exactly;The Scorpion is much easier to learn and does very well as an general purpose detector but is better suited to gold detecting because it can handle quite high iron mineralisation. The Fisher will not do well in high mineralisation.
Just my opinion.
Cheers.

Hey, ya know, Garrett's will give ya 40% off of a new machine if ya turn in an old Garrett.
Same thing with search coils. If ya turn in an old one, even if broken or not workin', ya get 40% off of a new one.
Call 'em up. While they've still got your machine, tell 'em to keep it and give ya that brand new pretty Scorpion for 40% discount.
Happy Hunting!
