:unsure:DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT YEAR THE FISHER 1270 WAS MADE :confused:

cause it was a 70th anniversary intro like the CZ 70. At least that's whayt I remember but my memory can be questionable. :laugh:
 
spoke to mike scott from fisher about the fisher 1270.i am amazed that its one of the best relic machines that has not caught on??believe me when i say its better then my HOT 1266X.its got the guts of a 1266x plus some other goodies.just used one and it was a little better then my 1266x blink:all the parts going in the 1270 are from the take over of los banos.people need to wake up and check this unit out:rolleyes:
 
Totally agree Bill. Have met and dealt with Mike Scott in the past...he knows his stuff and is a real straight shooter. Kevin got the better end of that deal!!! LOL. The price was so good that I was gonna buy it as a backup for my 1270. Keep checking those sidewalks...you know where....have pulled walking libertys from there.
 
Semp, been using it about a year, you can't imagine the power, 5" coil a 22 case at 6" and the 5' goes unbelievabley deep with a SEN @ 6 and DISC @ 4, and it will pick it out with next to trash.The 8"and 10.5 go to China. The 10.5 needs lower SEN. to work without noise in H/Minerals highly trasty areas. When I use that coil I G.B. in All Metal and set the Iron all the way, Get a sound check it in the iron mode with toggle and if it is good start digging(solid tone no sound ending chatter or chirps) and its been working really really good with all 3 size coils. Heavy trash shoot with Disc. 5 (test a nickel) low SEN, play with that setting to clear up some of the side noise,1270 does not need full SEN to go deep. 1 park i'm hunting know for the past month on and off I'm up to over 900 coins, 2 -14K wedding ring, 14K ST. Chist. medal, 9 Silver rings, 1-1787 NJ Copper (NJ L/G) 6- I/H pennies Silver Charms 7on holder and 19 Silver coins (Barbers Merc,Rosie (dimes and Quarters) I'm going to have to posts some pics, place was a forgotten resort at turn of the century. most of the Silver and Jewerlry came up with the 5" coil. Thing are getting thin it seems, not picking up alot but!!!! 3 Disc setting i'm still getting pulltabs at an unheard of depth of 6 -7"
so if there that depth thiers still stuff hanging with it. Just wish the 1270 hade a multi tone setting like the F75 and it would really awesome.
 
I think the main thing that hurt the 1270 was the poor balance of the unit compared to the 1266. I got one thinking it would be a more powerful 1266 with a ground balance, and it was. But hunting with the big coil all day about tore my arm off.
 
You have to hip mount it or sling it, Don't have that arm or back pain anymore.
 
Yeah, ain't gonna do that. Too many other good machines that are better balanced.
 
well when i had my 1270 i thought the balance was pretty decent but yes it was heavy but i got use to it i thought after a while it was getting more comfortable to use than my 1236x2 but then again just me, fit me like a glove
 
Musta not fit too well-you don't have it anymore, right?:surprised:
