There's nothing wrong with the 1260X except that the technology has been greatly improved over the last 20 or so years. I think that model was introduced around 1984 or so. The Bounty Hunter is good as a lot of people on here will attest but you might want to try upgrading to a newer model, depending on how much $$$ you have available. Either a newer Fisher-either a CZ or even 1236X2 , Garrett makes a great little machine (Ace 250), Tesoro has several models, and White's puts out some good intro. machines along with upper end as well.

If you have the BUG...Then try and get a high end machine...You may do the same with a lower price one ,but you will always wonder if you did the right thing or did you miss anything with the cheaper model..... I have the 3D and it is very good and easy to use!
Like stoney said...depends on the $$$ How serious you are!
