Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Fisher 1280-X have a ground balance feature?

The Fisher 1280-X has a preset ground balance, which means it automatically adjusts to different ground mineralization without manual input from the user.

Does the Fisher 1280-X have a pinpoint function?

No, the Fisher 1280-X does not have a dedicated pinpoint function. However, you can achieve accurate pinpointing by narrowing your search pattern and using the motion-based detection method.

Can the Fisher 1280-X be used in saltwater environments?

Yes, the Fisher 1280-X is designed for use in both saltwater and freshwater environments, with its low operating frequency reducing interference from saltwater.

How does the Fisher 1280-X handle trash discrimination?

The Fisher 1280-X has an adjustable discrimination control that allows users to filter out unwanted metal targets, such as nails and pull tabs, while still detecting valuable items.
What type of audio response does the Fisher 1280-X provide?
The Fisher 1280-X uses a single-tone audio response system to alert users of detected targets.

Depth Detection Factors

The detection depth of a metal detector is primarily influenced by the size of the search coil. Typically, a coil will detect coin-sized objects at a depth roughly equivalent to the coil's diameter. For example, a 4" coil is likely to detect coin-sized objects up to 4" deep, whereas an 8" coil may detect similar objects at a depth of up to 8". However, detection depth can be significantly affected by several variables, including electromagnetic interference (EMI), detector sensitivity settings, and soil mineralization. 

Soil conditions play a crucial role in depth detection. Here are three common soil types that can impact performance: 

Highly Mineralized Soil: Rich in iron and other conductive minerals, this type of soil can cause false signals and reduce the detector's depth capability. The detector may struggle to differentiate between the soil and metal objects, leading to decreased accuracy. 

Wet or Saline Soil: Soils with high moisture content or salinity, such as those found near coastal areas, can enhance conductivity, causing the detector to register numerous false signals. This interference may mask deeper targets and limit the effective detection depth. 

Compact Clay Soil: Dense and compacted clay can create a challenging environment for metal detection. Its dense nature can impede electromagnetic signals, reducing the detector's sensitivity to deeper targets. Additionally, the moisture-retaining properties of clay may cause additional signal distortion. 

Understanding these factors and adjusting the detector's settings accordingly can help optimize detection depth and accuracy across various conditions.
