DETECTION RANGE
Detection ranges will vary depending on the size of the object, the length of time an object has been
buried, and the type of ground the object is buried in.
The best ground conditions are well compacted soils and coins can be found at the greatest depths if
the object has been buried for some time and the coin has interacted with the salts in the ground,
thereby appearing larger to the detector. The worst conditions for detecting are on loosely
compacted or freshly dug ground or when the object has only recently been buried. In these
conditions detection range will be reduced. 90% of all artefacts are found within 6" (20 cm) of the
surface.
N.B. Your CS-5MX is a top performance deep seeker but adverse soil conditions can significantly
reduce the depth of detection.
DETERMINING THE TARGET SIZE AND DEPTH
An operator who is familiar with his instrument will be able to do an excellent job of determining
object size, shape, and depth before he digs. This technique is learned from careful analysis of the
audio signals coming from the detector. Each time a signal is heard, listen for any peculiar
characteristics it may have, determine over how large an area you get a detector signal, and try to
"outline" the object before you dig.
After digging up the object, compare the object size, shape, depth and position in the ground with
signal information you received before digging. After careful analysis of many digs, you will learn
to "read" the hidden target before digging.
ACCESSORIES (OPTIONAL)
Headphones
Headphones not only extend battery life but improve sensitivity by cutting extraneous noise. The
headphones should be fitted with a standard ¼ inch (6.3 mm) jack plug. The headphone socket is
located under the protective cap in the battery housing.
Rechargeable battery pack
A shrink wrapped pack of 8 rechargeable NiCd batteries to replace the standard batteries and holder.
Battery charger
The C-SCOPE battery charger is designed to charge the rechargeable pack quickly and safely.
CHARGING BATTERIES
A battery charge socket is provided for use with the C-SCOPE battery charger (See Accessories)
and is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. (The smaller of the two sockets.)
Inserting the charger will automatically remove the power from the detector so the charger must be
removed to do a battery check. Do not attempt to recharge standard batteries. It will take between
eight and fifteen hours to fully recharge flat batteries with the C-SCOPE charging unit.
