Beginner’s Motion detector that is simple to operate and delivers excellent performance.
If you’re new to detecting and looking for a simple and affordable entry level detector with the power of ‘motion’ then the C.SCOPE 1MX is the right detector for you.
The CS1MX represents ultimate simplicity. The combination of Automatic Retune with the power of ‘Motion’ electronics make the CS1MX special. Like a race tuned engine, the CS1MX is adapted to high speed detecting with increased depth of detection. The lightweight and superb balance of the detector all add to the appeal of this introduction to power detecting at a seriously low price.

£275. Within the British built C.Scope range it sits above the CS440XD at £199.99 and below the CS2MX at £299.99.
The coil has to keep moving for the machine to report a target. Motion electronics filter out the ground itself, which is what gives this detector its depth and lets it work in mineralised British soil. See our motion detectors page for the fuller explanation.
It keeps the detector tuned without you adjusting it. In practice that means less knob twiddling and more searching, which for a beginner is the difference between a productive afternoon and a frustrating one.
It lets you set how much rubbish signal the machine ignores. Wind it up on a litter strewn site and ring pulls and foil stop sounding. Wind it down on clean pasture so you do not reject good targets with the junk.
17kHz, through a 20cm submersible Polo search head. That frequency is a sensible all round choice, with useful sensitivity to smaller targets without becoming unstable.
Typically 30 hours from a single PP3 battery, with alkaline recommended. One battery lasts most people a whole season of weekends.
1.153kg including batteries, on a counterbalanced stem with an armrest designed for fingertip control. The light control box is what keeps it easy on the arm over a long session.
The search head is waterproof and submersible, so wet grass, mud and shallow water are fine. The control box is not, so keep it dry. On wet salt sand you want pulse induction instead.
Two plus three years: five years parts cover, with two years parts and labour. For a £275 machine that is unusually strong, and it reflects the fact C.Scope build in Kent and can still repair them later.
Yes, there is a 3.5mm headphone socket alongside the internal loudspeaker. Using headphones rather than the speaker is the cheapest way to hear the faint deep signals you would otherwise walk straight past, so we would always recommend it.
The CS2MX at £299.99 adds finer discrimination control for £25 more. If your ground is littered with iron, that extra control earns its money. On clean pasture the CS1MX will find the same targets.
It is a genuinely good one, particularly if you want British built and simple. If you would rather spend less to find out whether you enjoy the hobby, the Lander XD50 at £79.95 is the cheaper way in.
