The CS5MX is Power detecting at its best. With an easily understood discrimination system it's a classic maximum depth detector for serious metal detecting enthusiasts. The CS5MX is a more effective deep search detector than some competitors at twice the price.

Brief rundown

It's in the nature of the treasure hunter, always to be wanting 'more'. We all want to find 'more', which is why we're doing the hobby in the first place. That's why depth has become the most important feature of the detector..so you can reach down and find the treasure which eludes other detectors. This is where the CS5MX comes in. It's a highly tuned electronic instrument, totally focussed on maximum depth.

Field testing the CS5MX was a real joy. With the CS5MX the power is totally useable, not 'jittery' and full of false signals. Balance is an important feature in this class of machine and I like the way the battery box counterbalances the search-head. It all goes to make the CS5MX feel precise, powerful and ready to do a professional job.

Battery power for the CS5MX comes from 8 x AA batteries. Alkalines are best for maximum battery life. I don't know why but the CS5MX feels more 'punchy' with alkalines. As with all the best detectors, the CS5MX is 'switch-on-and-go' so it's switch on and turn it up to the threshold point which suits you best. That's all there is to it. The CS5MX is extremely responsive and signals from small coin sized non-ferrous objects have a characteristic ring to them. The 2 channel discrimination system is just about the easiest to understand of any metal detector. I like to set the first channel on about number 2 so that small iron objects are ignored, and the second channel higher depending on what sort of rubbish is around. You switch between the channels with a push-button. Next comes the feature which depth enthusiasts will enjoy – the Power Boost. Switch it on and it delivers maximum energy to the search head – taking depth penetration to the outer limits of physics !

VERDICT
Everything about the CS5MX feels right. It’s a classic high performance metal detector at a price which won’t break the bank. Easy to use means it’s easy for anyone to get maximum performance out of this metal detector.
