Hello,
New user here with another what metal detector thread - i have been reading through the other topics but didn't come across much on the c-scope brand of detectors.
Being new i'm unsure what i need out of a detector, i'm from the UK and plan to hunt on stubble, pasture fields & the like.
A couple of detectors that caught my eye are the c-scope CS4Pi & CS3MX on the website it says these detectors are rated to 12 & 11.5 inches of depth.
Does anyone own/ have opinions on these detectors, or can maybe recommend alternatives?

I have a budget of ?300.

you can see the c-scope range on these websites:

Hi Stu, Im in England also. Was up untill recently an owner of a c-scope 660.
They are good company to deal with. ( I made mine up from parts, they supplied a new circuit board for ..?35!!! ) found me first silver hammered with it.
I see one of the machines you fancy is a PI ( pulse induction ) which is mainly a beach machine. The other being a land.

I have a friend whos been doing this a LOT longer than me and he has a
C-scope 5mx , as well as other machines. But he prefers the c-scope. I would highly recomend you getting hold of one these, as i have searched with him on stubble, and it is a very good machine, featuring 10" s/head, 2 discs etc. I own a Tesoro Eldorado u-max and an early 90s Bandido... I prefer the Bandido. Sometimes new is not always best.
Another good c-scope ( no longer made?) is the 1220xd. Today a 5mx went for ?110!! thats a buy it now price with over 100 people looking at it!!!
Now that says something please see the link to the add..

This is the type of machine that will do the job, at a very good price. Just bide your time and you will find one. So much so that i am thinking of selling my Eldorado and getting one meself!!

Anyway hope I've helped. Chop

Check out this months searcher mag as they have the reduced price of the 5mx to about ?250 new!!!!
Thats a real bargain. Tried...tested...proved.... Dont even think about the newer models...
