I have had a fisher 1280-X since the late 80's. I use it when I hunt inland lakes(fresh water), I use a PI when hunting salt water beaches.
I have made a lot of nice finds with the 1280. First time out with it, found a 1965 class ring, third time out it pretty much paid for itself with a very nice 1/3 caret diamond ring. Over the years it has worked very well. In calm lakes I like how it will float right beside me when I am digging. Also the 1280 has now ground balance .. it is preset from factory. I think it is a very good quality machine.
