fisher's1236x2

hello, new here... i'am hoping to purchase a fisher 1236x2 detector soon but after reading the article about density iam worried it's not a deep enough detector here in central florida the soil is loose and it seems i might need something deeper. any help greatly appreciated

The CZ with 10.5" coil (in Central FL) has the most depth w/proper ID..... if it is simply raw depth you wish to acquire. The 1236X2 is a good unit..... but does lack some raw depth.

thanks tom, but the cz a little more than i can afford right now. what about the 1270 or the minelab advantage for depth and disc. the problem iam having is choosing a detector thats versatile and one that i have confidence in. i use to own a garrett master hunter and the fisher 1280 back in the early 90's but iam just getting back into the hobby. iam using the ace 250 now it a nice little detector but it just aint getting the depth need in this loomie soil.

p.s. a meter is not that important to me i mostly hunt on audio a meter secondary nice but not paramount. thanks again

Stick with your ACE 250..... as it is nearly untouchable for that price. It'll serve you great...... until you can afford a CZ. Save your money for a CZ. For the price, the ACE 250 is best in it's depth AND target ID accuracy abilities. It's only about 2" shy of the depth of a CZ w/8" coil. The 1236-X2, ID Edge, ID Excel.... Minelab Advantage have similar depth capabilities to the ACE-250. The 1270 is a bit deeper, but the CZ will still trump the 1270. Yes, here in Florida.... we need 17" on-a-dime capabilities for inland hunting; but nothing like this exists. At most Florida sites, the Indians and Barber dimes are (on average) at the 17" strata.
