C-Scope Cs6mxi first impressions
relichunting:
Ok after trying the new machine out on Saturday and finding a nice Elizabeth 1 half groat and a post medieval sword hanger,I got it into my head that I didn't really need two machines.
I thought this machine can not do anything my Deus can not already do,well thankfully after a few tests today I believe I was wrong ???
I even put the machine up for sale,I am so pleased no one bought it.
So what is the difference between this machine and a GMP/Deus.
With discrimination on a minimum 4 and the iron volume on 0 all small iron is totally cut out you don't even hear it,of course you can have the iron volume higher and the iron will come though as a low tone grunt.
I then experimented with the discrimination and the discrimination volume.
Setting discrimination to 5 silver paper, fag packs came through as mid tone,lowering the discrimination volume to 0 cut it out and you do not hear it at all,hopefully this will be the same range as coke,sadly I didn't have any to test this on.
Hang on I hear you shouting yes that is ok but your lose small hammered's, and gold, wrong waving a small hammered under the coil it gave a nice high tone at around 10 inches,it also had no problems with a few rings, and a half gold guinea that i tried.
Now the one thing that has worried me with my Deus is the Auto ground balance set at 90,on a lot of sites the ground read 74-76 and I know I am not getting a lot of depth
Manually adjusting it down to 74-76 or using the tracking method just makes the machine noisy.
With this C-scope you have an Auto ground balance that will handle most sites,if the site is very badly mineralised you may have to lower the sensitivity a little
On clean sites you can manually ground balance the detector and increase sensitivity a little.
Build quality of the machine is excellent,and I thought the balance was quite good,you can also belt mount it if prefered.
Still a lot of testing to do on this machine but overall a nice bit of kit from C-Scope ;D

Nice write up, Shaun.
You know the Deus pretty well so if you are rating the CS6MXi it must be good! :)

Sounds like you'll need a change of detector Bob ;)

The Deus is still and will always be my number one choice,this new C-Scope will have its uses though,and makes a excellent back up machine.
It will be interesting how it handles a highly mineralised site
