About Your Detector

Your 1225-X was designed to do one thing well: ﬁnd good, deep targets in trashy or mineralized soil with a minimal amount of hassle. Here’s how it does it...

VLF-SLOW MOTION DISCRIMINATION. In the search mode, your 1225-X will simultaneously ignore minerals and trash as it detects valuable targets. Unlike earlier motion discriminators, you won’t have to whip it back and forth but, you will have to keep it moving at least slightly.

ZERO MOTION PINPOINTING. A push-button, all metal mode which requires no motion for fast, precise target location. Also referred to as “electronic pinpointing.”

AUTOMATIC OPERATION. There’s no ground adjust control on your 1225-X. Just turn it on, set two knobs and go. It couldn’t be simpler.

PULSEGATE UNIPOLAR AUDIO PROCESSING. Fisher engineering jargon meaning that you won’t have to listen to a “threshold tone” for maximum sensitivity. Your 1225-X operates so you can hear even the faintest signals on small deep targets.

DOUBLE DERIVATIVE MOTION CIRCUITRY. Provides a target response as the search coil passes over the target. Earlier motion detectors responded AFTER the coil passed over the target. Protected by U.S. Patent 4,514,692.

And of course, there’s more. Like the built in arm rest and detector stand. And, the drop-in, no-wires battery compartment. And, most importantly the depth! Your 1225-X goes deep. It all adds up to one great state of the art metal detector. Treat it as you would any ﬁne instrument and you’ll be rewarded with years of service and who knows how many treasures. If you have any questions, suggestions or interesting 1225-X stories, drop us a line. In the meantime...

Happy Hunting!
