[. . . ] The excellent depth penetration and sensitivity to iron objects makes the CS6Pi perfect for relic and artefact hunting and any application where depth of ground penetration is the main consideration. Care must be exercised in the use of the frequency change control. Settings that are too high will eliminate metal foil and even ring-pulls but some other thin section objects such as rings and coins may also be rejected on these settings. It is vital to test your machine on the type of objects you wish to find and ensure that your machine settings are right for the job in hand. The CS6Pi is a MOTION PULSE design which means that the search-head must be kept in motion with a steady swing from side to side in order for it to work to maximum effect. It is possible to sweep the head too fast over a faint target - get the feel of this by practice, and sweep the detector head accordingly. 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 depth 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" of the surface. 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. The key to the choice of site is to think of people, where they congregated over the past few hundred years. The answers are not Roman sites, nor are they associated with mystic treasure stories of crocks of gold. Rather, they are unassuming, undramatic places, like public footpaths and ancient rights of way, old houses and so on. When you have chosen your site, allocate a whole day from early morning to early evening for the search. Make sure you have all the equipment you are likely to need. Your detector should be checked before starting out, and you should always carry a spare set of batteries. You will also need a strong, sharp trowel. It is also a good idea to have a set of lines and pins so that you can lay out your search area scientifically. Most beginners make the mistake of rushing about hoping to chance upon a rare find. If for example there happened to be a valuable ring that was buried 4" deep on the site you were searching, if you rushed about haphazardly and quickly on the site, the odds would be very much against you finding it. On the other hand, if you pegged out the area scientifically and searched slowly and thoroughly, the odds of finding the ring would be very much more in your favour. [. . . ] Report all unusual historical finds to the landowner. Familiarise yourself with the law relating to archaeological sites. 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. Remember that when you are out with your metal detector, you are an ambassador for our hobby. [. . . ]
