FISHER 1270 SILVER QUEST AROUND TOWN

[@conan6908]

GREAT detector! Very powerful and (AT LEAST) as powerful as a 1266X. Less hyper than the 1266X. Bought a 1266X new in 1991 and it was almost (always) harder to keep stabile compared to my older 1265X before that and my 1270X I purchased a couple of years ago. The 1270X is rarer than the 1266 too!

Does anyone one know what the U.S. thing is, the back is threaded , and not sure what it went too.

It went on a miltary uniform...on the collar I believe.

Hey Jeremiah! I've had a theory for a long time now as to the mystery of not finding silver around these old houses. I (think) (maybe) it's that the silver is really, really deep. This fact was proven in Texas when this one guy who was making a KZbin video at his local Austin park where construction crews were tearing up the old lawn were scraping off the top layers down to what he estimated was appx. 7" down. He was finding the very old coins another 8" below that while scanning on top of bare dirt where they had just scraped away the top layer of sod. Might pay to use a Nexus Bonanza, Credo, or Standard SE/MP or possibly a Minelab GPX5000 metal detector as one would need only the most powerful MDs ever made to get these deep coins at least from the top of an undisturbed surface, all the way down to the oldest, deepest coin layer. I have always had a feeling ever since 1988 when I start my MD hobby that there were coins that were just (WAY) too deep that our regular detectors couldn't reach that I was missing. That Texas video confirmed my suspicions. Well sorry to ramble but I hope this info can help you and/or your readers in their next searches for the 'BIG ONE!! LOL.
