Fisher 1280-X Aquanaut Waterproof Metal Detector

The Fisher 1280-X Aquanaut is a deep-seeking, submersible metal detector designed for underwater discoveries. It features automatic turn-on-and-go operation suitable for salt water, fresh water, or land use. With VF discrimination, target strength LED, and Fisher's patented quartz-crystal circuitry, it offers up to 75 hours of battery life and is submersible to 250 feet. The control box can be converted to a belt mount for added convenience.


Rugged Waterproof Design

The Fisher 1280X Aquanaut is fully waterproof and provides a visual target response with a target-strength LED spotlight. It features Fisher's patented quartz-crystal technology, allowing for extended beach hunts with up to 75 hours of battery life. Operating at a frequency of 2.4 kHz, this model ensures smooth operation in various environments, from shallow water to beach hunting. It includes adjustable sensitivity control for fine-tuning without requiring a ground balance setting.


Waterproof to 250 Feet

The 1280X shares the rugged enclosures of the CZ-21, with collapsible pole assemblies for diving or wading. Both models are submersible up to 250 feet. An optional chest harness allows for hip or chest mounting of the control housing. The 1280X is renowned as the best freshwater detector, while the CZ-21 excels in saltwater. Choose between a 10.5" or 8" round search coil for treasure hunting. All metal detecting parts are assembled in the United States.


Intuitive Controls, Easy to Use

The Fisher 1280-X includes controls for power on-off/volume, battery test, sensitivity, and dual function switch. It features VLF discrimination and full-range trash rejection control. With automatic turn-on-and-go operation, it is leak-proof to 250 feet, providing up to 75 hours of battery life. The quartz-crystal circuitry filters out small trash pieces. The unit converts to a belt mount and includes submersible waterproof headphones. While not a gold prospecting detector, it easily locates gold jewelry and coins. The 1280X adapts to changing conditions with ease, requiring no fine-tuning or ground balancing. Simply set the volume, sensitivity, and discrimination to start detecting on fresh or saltwater beaches.
