ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR
Your 1212-X is more proof from Fisher Research Laboratory that 
a  good  metal  detector  doesn’t  have  to  be  complicated  and 
expensive. No frills but a lot of performance features that really 
count:  automatic  VLF-  ground  rejection,  automatic  tuning, 
variable trash rejection, headphone jack, built-in speaker and a 
deep-seeking lightweight 8 inch search coil. Best of all it does what 
a metal detector is supposed to do—it ignores ground minerals 
and trash as it detects valuable buried targets. 
One knob operation. Just pick it up, set your trash rejection level 
and start searching. No tuning, no meter, no gimmicks. 
Performance. If you’ve tested other detectors in this price range, 
you’re in for a pleasant surprise. In fact you may find  that your 
1212-X goes deeper and ignores trash better than some detectors 
costing much more. 
State of the art. Engineered by the world’s oldest and proudest 
name in metal detectors. Patented double derivative electronics 
provide up to 30 hours of silent, no drift operation on a single 9 
volt transistor battery. 
Read this instruction manual from cover to cover and treat your 
1212-X as you would any high quality precision instrument. Drop 
us a line if you have any questions, comments, or exciting 1212-X 
stories. In the meantime . . . 
Happy Hunting!
