SEARCH COILS The 1280-X Aquanaut is available with either an 8 inch diameter search coil or a 10.5 inch diameter "Spider" coil.

Searchers working on rocky, uneven terrain, in thick underbrush, in salt water or high density trash areas generally prefer the quieter operation of the 8 inch coil and its ability to zero in on good targets closer to junk. Pinpointing is also easier with the 8 inch coil and it's easier to get into confined areas.

The 10.5 inch coil will go slightly deeper-5% to 20% in air, less in soil depending on target size and ground mineralization. The most noticeable improvement will be on targets larger than coin-size in non-mineralized soil. Equally important, its wider scan will cover more area with each sweep.

NOTES
l. Subject to change without notice.
2. Approximate.
3. The 1280-X is the world's first slow-motion discriminating metal detector to operate in the VF Frequency Range (Voice-Frequency).
4. PULSEGATE UNIPOLAR AUDIO PROCESSING. Advanced Fisher circuitry which allows silent operation below the "Audio-Threshold Tone" with no sensitivity loss.
5. Headset and search coil are permanently wired to Control Box to insure leakproof connections and positive electrical contact. Instrument may be ordered with 8" or 10.5" search coil.
6. The 1280-X is a "motion" detector, meaning that the search coil must be moving at least slightly, to detect a target.
7. Electro-Static-lnsulated.
8. Lifetime Limited Factory Warranty
