hi have you ever ground balanced it i notice these have an adjustment on front right hand side ..had lil post inside to use flathead screwdriver ..it looks like a headphone jack with + and -
I still miss my 1266X...Made some great finds with it....Those older detectors made by Fisher were legendary...Too bad they still don't make them anymore...We have a tendency now to rely too much on visual Id now...but those beep and deep detectors could still hold it's own against detectors made today...
I found a fisher 1266xb in case with plastic bag still on head and foam covering stem. Never once used or had batteries in it. Still in Fisher factory box. Off of marketplace for 300.00. My wife and I had a metal detector shop called treasure island metal detectors in 2000 thru 2010. I sold fisher, Garrett, Tesoro and bounty hunter. 1266xb, and Tesoro are hands down best analog detectors ever. I cannot stand the digital detectors of today.
Nice review ..... I've just got my 1265-X out of nearly 30 years in storeage, really amazed that the original Nicad batteries are holding their charge !! ...... so now that i'm semi-retired i'm looking forward to going out with this old friend.
Thanks for doing a review on the 1265. I still have my machine from the 80's along with the 1270 I got in 2005. Dug many civil war relics with the old Fisher they make fine detectors that are easy to use.
do you adjust the ground balance adjustment that on the right front side..ive noticed it looks like headphone jack with a post inside has +and- .just wondering if anyone adjust this to the ground there on at the time ?
ONE OF THE BEST METAL DETECTORS EVER MADE FOR COIN SHOOTING - IT IS A SILVER FINDING MONSTER - I'VE FOLLOWED PEOPLE WITH GARRETS, WHITES, TECHTRONICS, ETC. AND FOUND COINS THEY WALKED RIGHT OVER! THIS WAS IN THE EARLY TO MID 1980s. DOES ANY COMPANY TODAY MAKE A BETTER METAL DETECTOR?!!
A friend just brought one to me . The hot wires are in poor shape. Insulation is coming off. Almost looks melted but very well could be from age and bad batteries maybhave been left in it for a couple decades. How are the leads connected to the batteries? A pair of red and black on one side and red and bkack on the other? Is there a battery case for each side? So far i dodnt have enough double As but i stacked some 3volt disc batteries but got nuthin. Hooked it up to a drill battery charger but it acted weird . Woild love to see the battery holder inners if you get bored enough to make another video. Thanks for this one
What does it mean when you're saying 6 inch dime 8 inch Dime 7-in dime what does that mean because I just picked up one of these machines from an auction and it was from a big company and they said it was a really good
Hi I've got the 1265 it's my first detector. Only been detecting for about 8 months found loads of stuff. It's got the standard coil on what coil are you using in your video. Thanks.
Take no notice of so called modern reviews on this or the 1266x...both hold there own against most machines of quality. I have found most 1266 run a bit hotter than the 1265, but 1265 seems more stable in boost mode. As it's a coin and relic unit, it will find deep iron, it's expected.
I've had one 25yrs. It's still working 😊 I've never found any reason to upgrade.

I have a 1235-x converted to a custom carbon fiber shaft and 10" spider. still amazing.

I have a 1266-X with a 12" Hothead coil and it can't be beat by modern day machines!

I used to love using that machine. I walked miles of corn rows swinging a 1265. Wouldn't mind having another.
Bought the 1265x 2 days ago for £35 as none working it's working well now bad battery holder lol bargain and like this video thanks

I have the 1280-x aquanaut with a 10 inch coil. Got it new with case.used several times at the beach and underwater.
Mine is still working, very good detector, only sound, very well !
Looks like a killer machine from the past. I wish that I would have started detecting in 86. GL&HH
Right madison if we started back then the amount of treasures we would have accumulated we be amazing. Thanks for watching !

I like your test garden but how about a diamond 10/12 and 14 in end-of-quarter at 15 in
Pistol grip, way ahead of its time ... Well made machines . Its just a shame they have not kept up with current trends ..
Cool old school detector

Would there be a big difference between the fisher 1265X model and the current metal detectors on the market, please?. Thx!
I just got a 1260 m scope. Are these two machines similar to one another?
Quite similar, I had a 1260 years ago and it was a solid machine.
@@jasonwinney3491 and Which machine do you have now?
This model have drop in batteries like 1266 or wires attached?

У меня такой же металлоискатель . Отлично работает .👍
What coil is that? That's not standard right? Mine has the enclosed one piece

I just got another 1265..I.. I sold the one in the videos years ago... the one I picked up locally is very special !
@@martelnews i saw you posted a video with a 1236 x2, did you ever try it on the test garden? I got offered one but have no idea of its performance.
how do you open the 1265x metal detector
I have FX 3000 I need your help how to use it, I can use but I want to be a genuine one using that
Please

Yes, they are 😉
how do you open the 1265x metal detector
Owen Funkhouser if I remember correctly just unscrew the coil cable and take out two screws then pull the face towards you
