Question For "Easy Money" Regarding C-Scope Metal Detectors

I know they are not popular in North America, perhaps due to them being geographically situated far away, however, have you ever had the opportunity to trial one, especially the model CS1220R. I have read a limited amount of information on all of the C-Scope products, and have never really read a lot of negative feedback on them, yet seldom see them being used in rallies (in photos) over in the UK. Is there perhaps an issue of depth to some people considering these metal detectors? Thanking you in advance......

Regton of UK would be your best source: www.regton.com. Also, search on youtube for regton's evaluations. You can email them and get pretty good unbiased answers.

EasyMoney here. My handle somehow got changed to LuckyLarry. Oh well.

Here is what I know about C-Scopes........

Very little.

But mostly what I DO know is that they are good and fast discriminators, something akin to a Wilson Coin Select, or similar. As we all know, most of us would like to own a Nexus, and that's because they have so much depth and power that even when used in medium soil they still have more depth than anything else made on the planet in a BB, single or multi-freq vlf, IB, etc. We here in the lower 48 know less about the C-Scopes than we would like to because they are not currently marketed here, so we tend to steer away from them.

I have never used the model in question, but as with most units in the same brand there is usually little difference in performance between the high-priced models and the cheapies. My theory though is that if you don't buy one and try it, you may well be sorry if you don't. I currently own a Chinese-made detector or two and one cost me $49 and the other $159. I'm happy I bought them both. The $159 one is a fine beach machine.

Here is how the above all panned out:

The $49 one (now $69) with it's auto-GB when tried with a [ nickel ] sitting on top of big iron ore rock samples - got me 4" on a reading. Not bad at all. Remember that the cheapie is totally auto ground balance too.

The $159 one (it and the one above are American Hawks models) got me 5" on the same test.

The Compass Relic & Coin got me a very solid 6" (EASILY).

The wonderful, fabulous, ABSOLUTELY DEEPEST vlf I've ever used on Oregon high iron salt beaches - yet in THIS iron ore test,, got me.....

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON A NICKEL!

BLANK. q-u-i-e-t. zip.

The Compass and the $cheapest (now $69) one from American Hawks -did the best with two coins side-by-side - or one coin and one coin-sized steel washer were placed side-by-side from 1"-4" apart. The Compass was the best at this test, with the $69 being next, the $159 one next, and the Fisher being the worse of the lot.

However, the Fisher does get the best depth on the beaches and the Compass finds the tiniest of objects of all- and has the very best discriminator too.

The C-Scopes would read somewhere between 4" and 5", much like a Silver uMax, for depth. The above model should also cherry-pick almost as well as the Compass and the cheap Chinese one, but not quite.

Hope this helps. Time for some cookies and coffee.

New name? New addition to the family perhaps? (person, not machine) Thanks for your generous response. I just might follow through and settle my curiosity. I am always eager to learn something new and life is so short.

Hope you and you loved ones have a Merry Christmas.

Easy Money, I once had my user name changed too and had to start my post count over. Lucky Larry is nice too if you don't forget it after using Easy Money for so long.

Thanks John and Sandman for the kind words, and thanks for your thoughts too. Sometimes my philosophies are misunderstood by many as vague ramblings and esoteric mumbo-jumbo, but a madman always understands his own thoughts better than others, you think?

I did some other tests with the same detectors too, and my conclusions from the following tests show me that it can only do a person well to own more than one detector at a time.

Cheapie ($69) one got 6.5 inches in all-metal

The $159 one got me 8.5 inches (all-metal).

The cz-70 got me 12

And the Compass got me 13.5, maybe 14".

All-metal mode nearly always produces better results than in disc, end of statement. However, on salt, high black sand beaches the depths are barely more than half the all-metal amount, and sometimes less, with the CZ-70 doing the best of every detector I've ever tried there. The C-Scopes though, would not always produce happy results in such difficult conditions. They would do much better inland - in mild to medium soils.

Time for more cookies, and a bit of coffee too, after I try to digest this broccoli with lime juice, lime and lemon powder and sugar and salt - sprinkled over it all.

I once had a handle called "Loose Gravel". I wonder where THAT one will turn up someday?
