ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR

1

The 1266-X was designed to excel in three ways: depth,

discrimination and simplicity. It offers a better combination of

these three characteristics than any other metal detector

we’ve ever built. And we’ve been building metal detectors

since 1931.

Depth. Engineered to go deep in mineralized soil at high levels

of discrimination. If you’re an experienced detector operator,

you’ll find yourself recovering good targets at depths you

never reached before. And you’ll really appreciate the loud,

clear audio response you get from those deep targets.

Discrimination. Detect all metals or ignore trash as you detect

valuable targets. Twin discrimination modes allow you to

switch instantly back and forth between any two levels of

discrimination. If you’ve found target ID meters confusing or

inaccurate, you’ll like this quick and simple way to help tell the

cash from the trash.

Simplicity. This is the kind of uncomplicated detector you

would expect from the company that pioneered automatic

turn-on-and-go metal detectors. No meter, no tuner, no

ground adjust. Just pick it up, set your controls once and start

searching. It’s light, balanced, comfortable and the open

center Spider coil makes pinpointing a snap.

Read this instruction manual from cover to cover and treat

your 1266-X as you would any expensive, high quality precision

instrument. Drop us a line if you have any questions,

comments, or exciting 1266-X stories. In the meantime...

Happy Hunting!
