C-Scope’s opinion
Overview
The CS3MX has been developed with simplicity of operation as the number 1 priority. The CS3MX is a ‘switch on and go’ design with automatic tuning activated by the motion of the search head passing over the ground. The highly responsive CS3MX provides a sharp target signal even at fast sweep speeds. Reason to choose the CS3MX
There’s beauty in simplicity. If the mere mention of a learning curve fills you full of dread. If you’re allergic to operating manuals. If you just want to get out and enjoy the greatest hobby on earth in as much time as it takes you to fit the batteries, choose theCS3MX.

T2
“I’ve just tried one of these, my brother owns it, I haven’t detected for some time. I hated it to start as I don’t like lots of chattering going on, not knowing how to change the settings I persevered. He kept going on about how it finds hammered and halfs, quarters etc. I put the 4 gold coins found with it down to luck (all seperate locations). He found 2 in the previous 25 years with a range of detectors. So I tried it last night. I have found loads of hammered coins including a hoard with my trusty Minelab xs2a pro and prior to that my laser B1. No I didn’t find hammered on the first outing. Frustration quickly set in. Why???. because I couldn’t find what it told me was in front of my eyes. Time after time I found myself like a forensic investigator sifting through minute bits to find tiny fragments of buckles. Then depth I thought, ‘it must be in the side, hole getting bigger, so I learned to trust the pinpoint indicator re depth. After digging one of those darn 4 hole buttons at what I thought was a good depth. I thought, next time it’s deep I’m carefully going to check the depth. The chance came, top soil cleared, and out came a thin piece of lead from the clay under the topsoil, This and the size of my middle finger nail. Depth checked with my spade 10 to 11″. I was dumbfounded, so I presumed I’d missed a bigger piece of lead and it was a fragment. Nope it was the target, and it was a strong signal, so it’s range must have been higher than 12″ for that lead. Head scratching I carried on and more tiny fragments of various bits. Of such a small size I’ve never dug them before. Not only does it have great depth it still seems to recognise tiny fragments as good targets. No wonder he says it finds quarters, and the gold count I believe has gone up due to the T2. The hint really should have been the new gadget he has. He bought a pinpoint probe because of the T2. He’s never had one before. Now I will be buying a T2 and for the first time a probe. I am stunned at this ability of this machine. I never believe those wild claims in the magazines. My brother has been through a myriad of detectors. i can’t see him ever giving this one up, unless of course T” make one that provides a photo of the buried item before you dig it. I’m getting on the phone to buy one now. Two detectors in 15 years tells you I’m not one to be convinced by any old detector. The B1 was renowned and the xs2a had a good following too. But they can’t touch the T2 in my opinion. I’m ringing Regton now”

3 Tips For A Successful Metal Detecting Experience

Author:

Rudi

Are you a beginner in metal detecting? Do you need some tips in order for you to start finding treasures? I am sure it is frustrating that you don’t know how to use your detector, or confused because you don’t know where to start. Hopefully these tips that I will share with you can help you.

It is good that you search around the internet to learn and enhance your skills and hopefully it will increase your chance to find a good find buried under the ground. So what do you really need in metal detecting? I will tell you what are the essential things that you need to prepare before you go out hunting.

First is your metal detector. You need to decide which detector will fits your goal. What are the things that you are looking for? If you choose a metal detector it should be fitted to your needs. Write a list of what do you like in your metal detector. Like for example, the treasure that you are aiming to find, whether you want to hunt for treasures underwater or on the sand. Search online what features you need from your metal detector. Your budget has to be considered as well. You should know that not all expensive metal detectors guarantee that you will find a treasure. It is always down to your skills in sweeping and your knowledge of your metal detector that will determine your success. So these are just a few factors you need considered and planned carefully before you go out buying a metal detector.

Second is, getting to know your detector. Please spend some time learning and knowing its features and how to use it. It is best to practice first at your backyard. Try to observe the sounds and signals that your metal detector is telling you; try swaying it at can, coins and other metal in your backyard. You might get lucky there are hidden treasures hidden underneath your own backyard. Just keep on practicing until you are confident enough to go out and search for valuables hidden underneath the ground.

Third is having a positive mind and be patience. Don’t expect that every time you’re out you will be lucky to find something valuable. There are days that you will only get rubbish. You might even find nothing after trying to dig a few area of land. Whenever you find something unusual even if its is a rubbish keep it and bring it home. Clean it up and examine, you never it might be something valuable. If you think that your metal detector is telling you that there is something buried under that area, try digging it even if it sounds like its rubbish down there. To be successful in metal detecting you need to be hardworking and also work smart.

It is really a matter of determination and using your skills at your very best when metal detecting. You will be lucky someday in finding a treasure one day.
