I was going to wait until our next church meeting but figured it could not wait. I received the Fisher 1266x late yesterday, I had to hay it all day and didn't get a chance to try it out. Got the work done for the night, ate supper, got on the computer for a bit. All along the 1266x was in plain sight, while reading the forums thinking about my fellow Compadre'ans, I couldn't take it any longer I just had to do it. Thats right I snatched my wife's jewelry box and began bench testing some of her jewelry. Go ahead and sit down sllingshot,ok ready.... the 1266x hit on the jewelry better than I imagined it would. Even ear ring backs made it sound off, then chains she had made it sound off, I have to confess I did not have a fine gold chain to test it on. I held an old rusty fence staple on top of a coin and waived it under the coil, got a good repeatable signal. These tests were all done using the stock 8" spider coil. I just didn't have the heart to put on the 5" coil and test it, I figured if it worked even better on jewelry that it would be too much for you Compadre'ans to handle in one day. I am pretty sure that the Compadre will hit better than the 1266x on fine jewelry but in all seriousness the 1266x is amazing for being an older relic detector. I have to hay it all day again today but I am planing to take it on a hunt tomorrow, unfortunately they are calling for rain the next four days. I came in the house for breakfast this morning and noticed my wife and my 1266x was gone, she told me last night that she might try it out today but I didn't think she would until later in the day. So it should be interesting to see how she does with it as I never told her about any of the adjustments/ settings /features/etc. of it. Ok sllingshot you can get up now
