Designed for the Fisher 1270-X
This search coil is primarily designed for the:
Fisher 1270-X Metal Detector
MetalDetector.com specifically identifies this coil as the standard search coil supplied with the 1270-X.
For Detector Warehouse, I recommend positioning it primarily around the 1270-X rather than overcrowding the product title with older discontinued models.
8" Spider Coil Design
The 8-inch Spider-style coil provides a useful balance between coverage and control.
It is well suited for everyday detecting in locations such as:
Compared with a smaller 5" coil, the 8" footprint covers more ground while remaining easier to maneuver than oversized search coils.
7-Foot Cable
This search coil includes a 7-foot cable.
The longer cable configuration is designed for Fisher X-Series detector setups and provides the reach needed for routing the coil cable along the detector shaft and control-box configuration.
Waterproof Search Coil
The Fisher 8" Spider Search Coil is waterproof.
This allows the coil to be used in:
-
Wet grass
-
Mud
-
Damp soil
-
Shorelines
-
Shallow water
Important: Waterproofing applies to the search coil. Always follow the water-resistance limits of the detector's control housing and other components.
Electrostatically Shielded
Fisher search coils in this series are electrostatically shielded.
This construction is intended to help reduce unwanted electrical effects on the search coil and support stable detector operation in the field.

Fisher 1236-X2
