After 76 years in the metal detector business, Fisher is a brand that has proven they unite treasure hunters with lost coins, relics, and treasures. The Fisher 1270 is one of the easiest to tune and understand of any high-performance, multi-purpose metal detector. The arm rest is comfortably positioned above the controls and adjustable to fit your arm while the grip is made from durable, high-friction foam. Meanwhile the control box is packed with customizable features. The following information comes from our own experience with the Fisher 1270 and is meant to help those who are thinking about getting one for the first time as well as those who already have one.

The model we’re featuring comes standard with an 8” bi-axial searchcoil. It’s versatile and deep-seeking, making it effective for any type of detecting. Because it is waterproof you can submerge this coil into water without any adverse affect on the operation of the detector – this is perfect for hunting in the shallow waters of beaches and rivers as well as on land!

The 1270 is considered high-performance, specifically in regards to finding valuable coins, rings, and gold from upper ground levels. Treasure hunters have found single coins as deep as 18 and 20 inches underground! We consider the 1270 to be super sensitive with extreme depth recognition and impressive iron discrimination. To save you time searching and digging the 1270 has a trigger switch that works in both zero-motion pinpointing and mode changes. And if you don’t want to be alerted to your finds with an audible beep, simply activate the 1270’s “silencer” for silent (3rd derivative) discrimination.

The virtual toolbox of features on the 1270’s control box includes a “Sensitivity Control,” three search modes (normal discrimination, enhanced iron discrimination, and all-metal ground balance search), volume control with silencer, and a battery indication light. Patented Double-Derivative circuitry ignores ground minerals and junk without having to whip the search coil rapidly back and forth. Turn-on-and-go operation means that there's no ground-reject control, no tuner and no threshold tone. Just set your Sensitivity and Discrimination controls and start Treasure Hunting.
