Fisher 1236-X2; well satisfied

I've used this one for about two years, and I have to say I'm well satisfied. Playgrounds and old home sites have been fruitful, and it works as designed. For the money spent, a good value.

Great For Newbies Too
DIzzy Izzy in Springfield, New Jersey -
In my 50's thought of getting a detector since I'm a kid. Bought a used 1236-X2 on eBay two years ago. Sat in the box till last week. Just spent a week in Wildwood NJ and finally used it. I'm HOOKED! This thing is great. Easy to use & works like a charm. My son and I only did two 2-hour sessions on the beach with it and found a pocket full of coins, one ring, and one earring. I can't wait till I know what I'm doing. It can only get better. I left everything right on the defacto settings and just used the PinPoint function from time to time. One last thing... I've got a terribly bad back and have trouble bending. My son did all of the digging for me, but I had no problem holding the unit for hours on end.

Seated Half on first trip
Jerry (TX) in Willis, Tx. -
I bought a 1236X2 to use as a Ghost Towner. First time out i took it to a ghost Town one room school site infested with square nails. I had been over this spot dozens of times with my CZ-5. I got a good repeatable signal in the nails and along with 4 nails out poped my first Seated half. I'm hooked on this little baby. I was using a dicontinued 6X10 Eliptical Coil. Good coil if you can find one.

Great machine for competition hunts
Lightweight and even lighter w/hipmount
Frequency shift very handy around other machines
Pinpoint seems right on
Silencer great around transformers & powerlines

Fisher 1236x2

One of the very best available for hunting iron! It's a little noisy at low disc settings with some clicks and pops on partially disced out iron when not using the silencer (which I never do as it will kill the response on some good stuff) but it will find the small low conductive non-ferrous items the more expensive machines miss in iron. The iron preset position Fisher included is spot on and where I would set the disc if it wasn't available.
An excellent easy to understand audio and surprising sensitivity to the small low conductors make it easy to recommend.

Top notch for all around use. Great depth, target separation in trashy areas especially like the 5 inch coil in trashy areas. My favorite of all is the 1236-x2.
