A nice reliable performer

The 1225X is a bargain considering the depth it goes to. My best find is a swedish copper "daler" from 1682, it was at depth of roughly 30 cm. Discrimination was set at 6. Battery life is excellent. This unit compares very favourably to the Garret 550Gtax. I have used the 1225X for 3 years, and naturally dug alot of trash, since gold and some european coins are dialed out if the discrimination is set above 4.
A good beginner and backup machine.
Only negative thing i have to say about this one is that is lacks a volume control, and is somewhat sensitive to athmospheric discharges.

I have only used this unit a couple of times. First its very light and well balance. Another test it passed I found coins in a an area that was just combed with two other detectors. The controls are simple and easy to use. Also the depth on the coins I found was very respectable, about 8 inches on one of the quarters that I retrieved. Finally I opened the battery compartment and each battery would just drop right out in my hands I then slide them back in and snapped the cover in place.

Battery doors fall off, batteries get stuck inside and will not come out without sending the unit in for repair, customer service was deplorable...ect.
How this machine has survived is beyond me.
Fisher will never see another penny from me !!!
