[. . . ] The worst conditions for detecting are on loosely compacted or freshly dug ground or when the object has only recently been buried. Your CS6Pi is a top performance deep seeking Motion Pulse Induction detector, but adverse soil conditions can significantly reduce the depth of detection. DETERMINING THE TARGET SIZE AND DEPTH 7 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 meter and audio signal 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 signals you will learn to 'read' the hidden target before digging. ACCESSORIES (OPTIONAL) AVAILABLE FROM C-SCOPE Headphones: Headphones not only extend battery life but improve sensitivity by cutting extraneous noise. The headphones should be fitted with a standard stereo 1/4 inch (6. 35mm) jack plug. The headphone socket is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. Rechargeable battery pack: A shrink wrapped pack of 8 high capacity rechargeable nicad 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. It will take between eight and fifteen hours to fully recharge flat batteries with the C-Scope charging unit. For further information, and a price list, for all C-Scope accessories please telephone (01233) 629181. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT APPROACH Treasure hunting can be a profitable and rewarding hobby, if approached in a patient and diligent manner. Time spent researching to locate a worthwhile site for a search can be time wasted if your search is hasty and erratic. To achieve maximum results it is important then, to decide on your approach to any particular site in advance of the actual search. Tactics will be decided by the type of site - it is more profitable to scan a small area thoroughly than to conduct a haphazard search of the total site. However, when the site is too far away for you to make several return visits, a plan should be adopted which gives maximum coverage, at the same time as indicating the most likely area for detailed search. Your detector alone is not a guarantee of successful treasure hunting. Any detector needs an operator and for the best results the operator needs the right approach, attitude and technique. Too many beginners neglect the importance of pre-planning and research before using their detector in the field, and patience and technique during the actual search. Similarly, if you work slowly and carefully you should be able to distinguish the faint signals as well as the clear-cut signals and further increase your finds. Search Head Position A B C D It is essential that the search head is kept close and parallel to the ground as in B. [. . . ] Bottle tops, silver paper and tin cans are the last thing you should throw away. Do yourself and the community a favour by taking the rusty iron and junk you find to the nearest litter bin. If you discover any live ammunition or any lethal objects such as an unexploded bomb or mine, do not touch it. Remember it is illegal for anyone to use a metal detector on a scheduled ancient monument unless permission has been obtained from the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monument Commission for England or the Secretary of State for the Environment in Scotland and Wales.
