C-Scope CS4PI?

[3RDLIFE]

Don't want to break the bank with a PI, this looks about the same as well used older models on ebay. Any love for this thing? With shipping it's around $500 US

First, are you experienced in detecting?
Where will you be using it? Fresh, salt north, south?
It is not waterproof from what I have read so cant go very deep in the water if you are a beach hunter.

If you have a Budget of $500 there are a lot of good detectors available. Might check our classified section for good used detectors, or talk to one of our supporting vendors.

The CS4PI is probably decent for beach hunting but not for nugget hunting. Most beach PI models have a delay of 10us or more to hunt in the salt and do not have ground balance. For nugget hunting, you need ground balance and a shorter delay. The are very few PI models that do both well.
