Could be interesting.

I own a c-scope cs3mx which is the basic model in the line up.Although simple with just a sensitivity and a discrim control this detector is one of the best performing detectors i've ever owned...... good depth and excellent in the trash.The thing with these detectors is that they have been developed for british soil conditions so i don't know how they would perform in the states.If the new cs6mx has the same excellent performance as the 3mx,it's new features might make it a must have detector over here.I want one
actually there's 3 new machines from c-sope plus 11x8 & 11x14 inch coil options ,total revamp of the line and a buddy of mine bought the machine today and is very impressed and he has had all the machines over the years .
CS6MX
CS4MX with dual discrim
and the cheaper basic CS3MX
belt mountable options as the box can be removed

I've now got my cs6mx and initial impressions are very good.The build quality is up to c-scopes usual high standards...i'm confident that the detector will stand many years of hard use.My only concern is the quick release mechanism they have employed on the coil lead.It certainly makes changing the coil quicker....especially if you have cold hands but i feel they should have stuck to a good quality screw in plug which are simple and strong.....i feel the quick release plug is slightly gimmicky.However it is well made and should stand the test of time.
I tried some air tests but these were hampered by the fact that the detector is very sensitive to electrical interference inside the house so i ended up turning the sensitivity down quite low.Even at these low settings i was obtaining excellent results on small hammered coins so i am quite confident this machine will have good depth qualities.I will do some proper air tests outside when the weather allows and increase the sensitivity to find out maximum air depths.I will then post them.
Recovery speed tests indoors were very impressive.The usual test was carried out with a rusty nail and a low conductive coin(in my case a hammered penny).To test the recovery speed properly you need to sweep the coil lengthways over the nail and then see if the detector will pick up the coin.....not widthways.The detector passed this test effortlessly.......the cs6mx is blisteringly quick.
I next ran the detector over my testbed in my back yard.Here i have buried low conductivity hammered coins in amongst some really junky ground.I have put many detectors through this test with varying results but the cs6mx had no problems in locating the coins with a good solid signal.I used the detector in 3 tone mode giving iron a low grunty sound,lower conductivity items a mid tone and high conductors a high pitched tone.It was confidence inspiring to pick the mid tones of the coins out of the many iron tones i was getting in my test bed......proof that this machine will do well on our ancient sites that are infested with iron.
I shall be taking the machine onto one of my fields soon to give it a proper test.I know it won't dramatically increase my finds rate but i'm confident it may be able to winkle out some of those small hammies from the difficult areas of the field that some of my other detectors have missed in the past.
Good hunting,Neil.

Any more info on this C scope cs6mxi as I am about to get one as a second machine, has it performed well in the field.
It seems to have gone a bit quiet regarding this machine.

Hi Colin,the machine is getting mixed responses over here in England.To be totally honest it's quite a noisy machine and does not seem to be living up to the initial hype.A lot of people thought it might be able to compete with the xp goldmax power and the new deus but it may have fallen short of this.It has gone quiet over here as well which speaks volumes in itself unfortunately.
Gee they certainty haven't managed a decent detector old CScope, ever.
This new version sounds horrible, antiquanted technology, It's like a child's toy. I wouldn't mind betting the disc is near useless past five inches, and the unit would suffer a massive drop in sensitivity in even mildly mineralized ground.
What a piece of rubbish.
