Metal Detector Manuals

Search in salt and fresh water: Unlike most underwater detectors, the 1280-X works in salt water as well as fresh. And unlike Pulse Induction salt-water detectors, the 1280-X is a pleasure to use in fresh water or on land. Thousands are already being used by underwater Treasure Hunters, archaeologists, underwater search and rescue teams, sport divers and weekend beachcombers. The 1280-X automatically ignores ground minerals, conductive sea-salt and small pieces of trash while it detects valuable targets.

Enjoy easy operation: The 1280-X Aquanaut operates automatically. Just set the three knobs and forget them. A comfortable foam grip and adjustable arm rest provide hours of easy operation, and a detachable control box slides off for quick and easy hip mounting. Only slight motion is required for positive target response and fast pinpointing. And alkaline batteries provide up to 70 hours of operation.

Use it anywhere: The 1280-X Aquanaut is an easy-to-use, high performance, land-sea metal detector that goes anywhere. It's waterproof to 250 feet, and because it's virtually impervious to sun, dust, ran and fog, it's the No. 1 choice for many land Treasure Hunters. It features a lightweight, solid, glass-bead epoxy search coil; and adjustable, fiberglass shaft; a high-impact, injection-molded control box; a waterproof headset and a stainless steel arm rest. It's one tough metal detector.

Search with state-of-the-art electronics: Stable, drift-free circuitry - powered by patented quartz-crystal electronics - operates below the VLF frequency range, giving the 1280-X the latest in electronic technology. Piezo electric headphones, specially designed by Fisher engineers, provide waterproof audio response.
