If you're seeking a durable, high-quality, and reliable metal detector, look no further than the 1280-X Underwater All-Purpose Metal Detector. This advanced piece of equipment, with its 8" searchcoil, is designed to provide deeper detection of metal objects, whether you're exploring underwater or on land.
Engineered by Fisher Research Laboratory, a company with an impressive legacy of producing high-performance metal detectors since 1931, the 1280-X Aquanaut is a testament to their commitment to innovation and quality. This detector is not only submersible up to 250 feet, but it's also equipped with an operating frequency of 2.4 kHz, making it an ideal tool for deep-sea treasure hunting or freshwater explorations.
The 1280-X Aquanaut features automatic turn on-and-go operation, VLF-IB discrimination, and target strength LED. Its quartz-crystal circuitry ensures up to 75 hours of battery life, providing you with long-lasting, uninterrupted metal detection. For added convenience, the control box can be converted to a belt mount, allowing for easy maneuverability during your treasure hunts.
This metal detector is designed with user-friendly controls, including Power On-Off/Volume Dual-Function Potentiometer and Switch, Battery Test/Sensitivity Dual-Function Potentiometer and Switch, and VLF-IB Discrimination Full-Range Trash Rejection Potentiometer. It automatically tunes itself to changing ground conditions and salt water, rejecting most small pieces of junk while detecting valuable targets.
The 1280-X is a "motion" detector, requiring only slight movement of the searchcoil for accurate pinpointing of targets. Its searchcoil is lightweight and filled with glass-bead epoxy, while the shaft is reinforced with fiberglass ABS. The control housing is injection molded ABS, and the state-of-the-art Piezo Electric headset is designed specifically for the 1280-X.
Experience the blend of functionality, durability, and advanced technology with the 1280-X Underwater All-Purpose Metal Detector, a product that stands as a proud representation of Fisher Research Laboratory's heritage.
