Ive had one of these for 2 days now, 4 hours on the beach yesterday and 3 hours today, very good machine but make sure you have a good spade and a healthy back !!! My does it go deeeeeeep!!!
I've been looking forward to your video review of the CS4Pi, there is very little info about this detector on the web or TH-cam. Great video and explanation about the controls together with a short hunt. It will be nice to see how you get on with the Pi in future hunts. Regards Bob
very good video! i just have 3 questions: 1- does it give false signals? 2- does it works nice near the sea or in the sea? 3- and in the dry sand, still works good? thanks in advance
Snekamos Production Sorry about this, I missed this comment! No false signals, works great near sea and In the sea (the head is watertight) and the dry sand it is fine :)
Id guess to say it would be on pare with the excab actually, when you use good headphones. We own a cs4pi excab tdi gp30000 and many others, the excab is the worst performer out of the lot. But yes it has a disc for those that cant read the beach
Nice video. I had a little win on the football (thank you Everton!) and I've been considering getting a dedicated beach machine with the proceeds. I have a Visua MD10 at the moment (had it as a birthday present) but it's a bit basic.
Never known a pinpointer to go to 18 inches and more, and I'm not going to comment on the Excaliber, as I've never used one. I wouldn't want to be one of those people that knows all about a detector without even having used it...
hi, great video. At present I have the Deus which I love. But alas for all its strengths wet sand is not one of them. I live at a seaside town in Exmouth and wondered whether you think I should get this in addition to my Deus as there are lots of goodies to be had but without a pi machine or a minelab I feel I maybe be passing over the top of them. Thanks alot.
It's a brilliant machine, can't recommend it enough. Simple, and effective. But with that comes the fact, you'll be doing a lot of digging, as it...literally won't miss a thing. My beaches seem pretty clean, but I hear it can become a bit of a bother in other places around the country.
No recent comments so thought I'd assume one. I have the newer one coming Monday as my garrett ace 150 is struggling in sand and water. Just wondering if cscope make mini diggers as well? I'll probably do a video and post on my channel as I believe these are great devices from videos comments. I'm located in North Devon so have a variety of beaches, but just need the depth.Anyone done comparisons on depth with the big boys detectors?
5 Minute Man Hi 5 minute man! Ok, this machine (and all PI machines) are the big boys on the beach. They get more depth than any ‘normal’ detector on the beach. The reason being, is that they are dedicated pulse induction, which means there is no power going into discrimination, like the other machines. This means all the power is going into the depth, hence why it goes stupidly deep. Also, these machines also bypass the salt content problems that other machines have to consider as they’re working. You couldn’t use this on the field. But on the beach, they are unbeatable. You will be digging a lot, but you won’t miss a thing. Hope it helps :)
5 Minute Man No problem! Look into pulse induction machines, and the difference between them and conventional detectors. It should help with the decision :)
come on seriously, im shocked u are comparing this to excaliber? do u even know how much this metal detector is going for? u tell me how much the excaliber is going for and tell me how much this is? LOL yes... the money u save on that excal u could get this gold plated lol but seriously £1,000 cheaper and you want to compare, this is crazy price and im thinking and VERY tempted £295 i think with £1000 spare tbh i think this is a fantastic buy where will u get a beach salt metal detector for that
well lets point out the totally obvious, the excaliber is totally waterproof, this machine is not, also the excaliber is made by minelab, with 100's of settings that includes not digging iron, i know, i have a minelab se with pro coil! this machine is for beginners and those that want a beach machine at a starting price, however there are a lot better machines for the same price, for example, a minelab xs or explorer, both around the 250 mark second hand, and upgradable with different coils and with discrimination and will detect a 2p at 14 inches no problems! Even without a minelab, the racer is just as good. for 1000 budget gets you a top of the line machine, but those are are those that have had years of experiance. its a good review of this machine but its beginners machine.
@@deborahsparesmith5377 Perhaps there is no such thing as a "beginners machine" these days? There are budget friendly machines of which this is one, mid-range...I have two in the Makro Racer and Nokta Impact and then there are the expensive machines. Someone just starting out can spend £1000 or £295. It comes down to budget not experience. In many ways the more expensive machines are easier to use because they often have switch on and go modes that anyone can get to grips with. And then for those who like to tinker with the settings of course there are a plethora of options available. I do agree with you though that the Racer will most certainly detect a 2p in wet sand at 14". I have personal experience of that. The Nokta is the same. The days when you "needed" a Pi machine to get the best of wet sand searching are long gone.
I had one of these, not for long drove me mad .They certainly work picking up everything, I was digging holes really deep and finding big chunks iron all over the beach, much better of with a minelab fbs detector works perfectly on the beach and has discrimination
+Clark Fox Its a balance isn't it? I don't mind a loss of discrim for all that depth. But, some beaches are trashier than others. Ours aren't too bad down here, so it's not too bad.
Addictedtobleeps if there is little trash then great but on our beach westward Ho Devon there is deep iron everywhere and it is bloody deep. I soon got fed up of digging very deep holes for rubbish. Good luck though
+Clark Fox yea, I've heard others with problems down that way in the past. And some up north. 10 rings, 5 of which are gold, loads of silver bracelets as well so far. Can't grumble.
Sorry but it seems as though it's just another pin pointer only larger! Good for a beginner although It does not come close to the Excaliber II. Happy Digging!!

By digging every thing you will have a great finds, this is the ultimate secret... I recommend PI machines for beach hunting.
Hope you enjoyed it! Still weird it won't view here, though...
Getting mine on friday, i live on the beach so cant wait!! great vid!!

Im getting the same here, Bob. But only in firefox? Its fine in safari. Hmmm....
very good video!
i just have 3 questions:
1- does it give false signals?
2- does it works nice near the sea or in the sea?
3- and in the dry sand, still works good?
thanks in advance

@@Addictedtobleeps u ever used the cs6pi. Got one on route. Think it's very similar. What is the frequency adjust for

12 inches for a 2p getting one of them Matey and thanks for reviewing it ;-)
Yup! Prepare for lots of digging!

I love my 4PI, it paid itself off in the first few outings with it, in the wet sand, Do you still use your 4PI?
Everytime I hit the beach! Would never change it :)
best review ive seen, thanks.
hi, at 4mins into video when you mention the spoon is that not a coin in the sand as well, it certainly looks like one
I've got to get one of these, great review 👍
great video took up detecting this year i also use a cs4pi and think its a great machine. have to dig all targets as people should anyway 👍
Thanks for the video, is it waterproof? Cheers
Just sold my Excalibur2 and try to get one of these. Can you tell the depht that this detector can find coin?
OK here too, chrome, great informative vid, good luck for next time...

Can it be used in the field or steppe, except for the beach?

Hello !
I wanted to ask you if this is a single tone or a multiple tone machine .....?
Cheers!
Single tone. Very simple to use :)
Did you ever get to prove your theory?
It's also fine in chrome. How odd.
Nice machine.👍
hello is the head water tight ?
CocaColaMan75 It is, yes :)
thx i just got 1 for my self .. cant wait to go use it :)

all detectors have water proof coils

10 rings, 5 of which are gold, loads of silver bracelets as well so far. Can't grumble.
Fair play mate good luck keep on swinging
+Clark Fox And you :)
Sorry I removed my post about the viewing problems, but have watched the video via your blogspot (using firefox).
c scope lots of holes full of disappointment..thats why we luv it so much the ups and downs then boom jackpot lol
Sorry but it seems as though it's just another pin pointer only larger! Good for a beginner although It does not come close to the Excaliber II. Happy Digging!!
great video took up detecting this year i also use a cs4pi and think its a great machine. have to dig all targets as people should anyway 👍
