Who Should Not Buy One
If you want a screen with a numeric target ID and tones that tell you what the metal probably is, this is the wrong detector. The CS3MXiPRO is a motion machine with variable discrimination and a pinpoint switch, not a display driven one. Plenty of people prefer that, but if you have been learning to read target numbers you will miss them.
If you detect wet salt beaches most weekends, pulse induction copes with salt far better than any motion detector. That is the C.SCOPE CS4Pi at £479.99.
If you want to get the detector properly underwater, the search head here is submersible but the control box is not. Look at a fully waterproof machine instead if wading is the plan.
And if £399.99 is more than you want to spend on a first detector, the CS440XD at £199.99 is the honest starting point. It is our best selling C.SCOPE for a reason.
Why Buy From Us
C.SCOPE CS3MXiPRO Questions, Answered
How much is the C.Scope CS3MXiPRO?
£399.99, reduced from £425. In the C.Scope range it sits above the CS2MX at £299.99 and below the CS4MXi at £479.99.
Why do people call the 3MX models a cult?
Because they have a long reputation as the general purpose machine that simply works. The iPRO is the latest edition of that line, and C.Scope’s own view is that it is one of the top general purpose detectors for professionals and serious detectorists alike.
What makes it different from more expensive machines?
The absence of complex menus. It has the features needed for serious detecting without the setup procedures found on high performance detectors. For a lot of experienced detectorists that is the selling point rather than a compromise.
What coil does it come with?
A 20 by 28cm 2D elliptical submersible search head as standard, with four interchangeable options available. The elliptical shape pinpoints more precisely and reaches into hedgerows.
What is All Metal Super Depth Mode?
It drops discrimination entirely for maximum reach. You will hear iron as well, which is the trade. On a quiet site chasing one deep signal it is the mode that finds it.
What does Automatic Retune do?
It keeps the machine tuned as conditions change, so there is less adjusting and more searching. Combined with the toggle pinpoint it makes the recovery part of detecting quick.
What are the specifications?
Motion at 17kHz, 8 x AA batteries giving 30 to 40 hours, 1.45kg including batteries, a choice of control box mounting points, an internal loudspeaker and a 6.3mm headphone socket. EAN 5060086350999.
What is High Sensitivity and Rapid Response Circuitry?
It is what gives the machine its recovery rate: how quickly it resets after a signal and is ready for the next one. On ground with targets close together, a fast recovery is what stops two finds reading as one.
Is it a sensible step up from the CS2MX?
Yes, and it is the step most C.Scope owners make. The CS2MX at £299.99 is the switch on and go machine. The 3MXiPRO adds the rapid response circuitry and the elliptical coil for £100.
What is the guarantee?
Two plus three years, which is five years parts cover with two years parts and labour, handled through us in the UK.
Can I change the search head?
Yes, four interchangeable options to give deeper detection, greater ground coverage or better performance in specific conditions. Changing coil alters the machine more than any setting does.
Is it suitable for the beach?
The search head is submersible so dry sand and shallow water are fine. Wet salt sand defeats VLF machines generally, and our beach detecting page explains what to use instead.
Is the CS3MXiPRO good for beginners?
It is one of the easier professional detectors to start on, because there are no menus to get lost in. The honest caveat is price: if you are not yet sure the hobby will stick, the CS440XD at £199.99 teaches you the same skills for half the money.
CS3MXiPRO or CS4MXi?
The CS4MXi at £479.99 gives you more to adjust. The CS3MXiPRO gives you less to think about. If you enjoy tuning a machine to a site, go up. If you would rather switch on and search, stay here.
Is it made in Britain?
Yes. C.SCOPE are a British manufacturer, which is also why spares and servicing are straightforward rather than a shipping exercise.
What does the guarantee actually cover?
Five years parts cover, with two years parts and labour. That is unusually long for a detector at this price.
Can I use my existing C.SCOPE coils on it?
There are four interchangeable head options for this machine, and the 20 by 28 cm 2D elliptical comes as standard. Ring us with the coil you already own before ordering anything, because fitment across the C.SCOPE range is specific.
How heavy is it for a long session?
1.45 kg including the batteries, with a counterbalanced stem and an armrest. That is light for a machine with eight AA cells in it, and the control box can be mounted in more than one position to suit how you swing.
