The Fisher 1280-X is designed for serious detectorists exploring underwater, beach, or shoreline environments. Ideal for scuba divers, surf waders, and relic hunters, this rugged detector stands out with its ability to operate fully submerged to depths of up to 250 feet. Its true plug-and-play simplicity means no ground balancing is required—just turn it on and go.
Operating at a low 2.4 kHz frequency, the 1280-X provides excellent sensitivity to coins, jewelry, and relics, even in salty or mineralized conditions. The built-in discrimination control lets users filter out trash while maintaining strong responses on valuable targets. A waterproof, concentric searchcoil is paired with slow-motion target detection, allowing for precise pinpointing. LED target indication and custom-designed piezoelectric headphones ensure clear feedback in any environment.
Crafted with an ABS fiberglass-reinforced shaft and durable epoxy-filled coil, the 1280-X is engineered for long-term use in wet, rugged environments. It’s lightweight enough for extended hunts, and the hipmount configuration option reduces fatigue during long sessions. With up to 80 hours of battery life on standard AAs and simple, intuitive controls, it’s ready whenever adventure calls—on land or 200 feet below the surface.
