When closed, the case looks like a large, handsome briefcase. Then compare it to any detector made at any price. You are missing small, deep targets. Now with the 1266-XB, it sounds off louder and crisper over those small targets. You will hear more and you will find more.
Fisher quality feels good.
And at only 3.9 pounds, it is one of the lightest high performance metal detectors in the class. It makes pinpointing even easier. And it is unbeatable for shallow-water hunting. If you are not into meters or complicated notch systems, you will appreciate this quick and simple method of telling the cash from the trash. No turner, no meter, no ground adjust, no nonsense.
