CS6MX
CS6MX Overview
The CS6MX is a high performance specialist metal detector operating on the
‘MOTION’ principle. This means that the search-head must be kept moving at
a steady sweep speed to achieve optimum performance. The 6MX features
multiple discrimination allowing the user to detect the smallest and thinnest
coins on the most heavily contaminated or mineralised sites.
The CS6MX provides the option of interchangeable search-heads to
optimise performance on a variety of site conditions. There is an iron volume
control alongside a discrimination control with discrimination volume to aid
identication of targets; a pinpoint switch to aid exact target location; and a
manual / auto ground option to handle all ground conditions
The CS6MX is designed to offer extremely high performance and, with
practice, will give you excellent results. We wish you good hunting and
a great hobby with the excellent CS6MX!

Follow these simple steps to start using the CS6MX within minutes:
1) Insert the lower stem into the upper stem (rst press in the spring clip).
2) Twist the locking device so that the stem is locked at the required length.
3) Coil the search-head lead around the stem.
4) Plug the search-head lead into the socket on the control box.
5) Remove the battery compartment cover by loosening the four retaining screws.
6) Fit 8 x AA batteries to the battery holder being careful to observe polarity
and good contact and replace cover.
7) Rotate the Iron Volume control to number 8 on the scale.
8) Rotate the Disc control to number 4 on the scale.
9) Rotate the Disc Volume control to number 8 on the scale.
10) Set the Ground Control to ‘AUTO’.
11) Switch on and rotate the Sensitivity control to number 8 on the scale.
12) START DETECTING... Good metal targets give a sharp, high pitched audio
tone from the loudspeaker... Targets that have been discriminated will be identied
by a mid frequency tone... Signals from small pieces of iron are identied by a low
frequency tone... Switch to pinpoint to identify the exact position of the target.
Rapid start
1) On Off/Sensitivity control.
Rotary control switches the detector on/off and adjusts the sensitivity. Ground containing
mineralisation and some beach situations may cause instability or false signals requiring
a reduction of the sensitivity level.
2) Ground Level control.
Start off with this set to AUTO. Extra sensitivity can be achieved on consistent ground
by adjusting this control manually in conjunction with the sensitivity control (see section
‘Detecting with the CS6MX’).
3) Pinpoint
The ‘motion’ aspect of the CS6MX is switched off whilst the pin-point mode is selected
(switch in up position). In pin-point mode the search-head can be held still to determine
the precise target position. Pinpoint mode operates in ‘All Metal’, ie. whatever level
of discrimination you have chosen will be switched off while the pin-point button is
depressed. This is a useful facility which allows you to trace around the edges of a
signal to identify large pieces of iron. (Note: very large pieces of iron, such as discarded
agricultural machinery and iron stakes tend to give positive signals even when the
detector is set to high discrimination settings). Once the pinpoint switch is released the
detector returns to motion mode.
4) Iron Volume control.
Iron targets are identied by a low pitched tone. The volume level of this low pitched tone
can be adjusted as required. To ignore iron this control should be set to zero.
5) Discrimination Level control.
This is used to set the discrimination point. When fully anti-clockwise, the detector will
respond to any target from silver paper to gold with a high pitch tone. As the control is
rotated clockwise, the lower conduction metals are identied by a mid pitch tone.
6) Disc Volume control.
Used in conjunction with (5), the Volume level of the mid pitch tone can be adjusted
as required.
7) Control box mounting clip.
For ultimate lightweight metal detecting the CS6MX control box can be removed and
tted to a belt around the body. This leaves only the search-head on the stem which
reduces fatigue on the arm.
8) Loudspeaker (and battery condition indicator).
The presence of metal is indicated by a short tone from the loudspeaker as the search-
head is passed over a target.
The CS6MX Features and what they do

Assembling the CS6MX
The stem lock should be slackened to allow the lower stem to enter the upper stem
section. The spring clip should be pressed in to allow the lower stem to slide into the
upper stem. This spring clip will pop into any of the holes in the upper stem and rmly
x the two stems together. Tighten the stem lock to stop any movement in the stems.
The search-head lead may then be wound around the stem as shown in the photograph.
A search-head lead which is not well secured to the stem could move about causing
false signals. Cable ties, tape or the velcro straps supplied may be used to hold the lead
in position. Align the arrows on the plug and on the socket to connect the search-head
lead to the control box. Adjust the position of the search-head so that it is parallel to
the ground when the user is in a normal standing position. Tighten the wing-nut on the
search-head retaining screw. Do not over-tighten. Friction of the head lugs against the
neoprene washers keeps the search-head in position. Excessive pressure on these parts
should not be necessary. (If some form of lubricant should ever nd its way onto
these washers it will be necessary to disassemble the parts, wash and dry them
before careful reassembly).
Each search-head is supplied complete with it’s own lower stem to make changing easy.
Unplug the connector by pulling the plug outer case. This releases the catch to allow the
plug and socket to separate. Remove the lower stem assembly and ret the alternative
search-head. Always take care not to get water or dirt in the plug or socket. It is for this
reason that we recommend changing heads in clean conditions. Coil the search-head
lead tightly around the stem and x with cable ties or tape for best performance. Align
the arrows on the plug and on the socket when connecting the search-head lead.
Changing Search-heads
Belt mounting
Squeeze the control box retaining clips together using your thumbs as shown in the
photograph. The control box will now slide towards you free of the control box mounting
clip. The control box can be tted to your belt using the clip provided. In belt mounted
use, be sure to wind the search-head cable up the stem at least to the stem lock and
secure it with tape or cable tie. This is because the lead will be detected like a target if it
is left free to move.
Undo the 4 battery compartment retaining screws and take out the battery holder.
Fit eight good quality AA type batteries into the compartments of the battery holder.
Observe polarity of the batteries (the spring contact goes against the at, negative end
of the battery). Roll the batteries in the holder to ensure good contact and replace into
the battery compartment with the contacts on the holder lining up with the contacts in
the compartment. Replace the battery compartment cover being careful to avoid cross
threading the screws. Battery condition is monitored continuously on the CS6MX. Low
batteries are indicated by a warble alarm repeated every few seconds.

On the majority of inland sites the ground control should be set to AUTO
and the recommended sensitivity setting between 7-9 on the scale will give
the best results. Some types of ground may give rise to false signals and the
sensitivity level should be reduced to a point where operation of the detector
becomes stable.
Sweep the detector head from side to side with a steady relaxed motion.
Keep the search-head parallel and as close as possible to the ground right
across the arc of the sweep.
Search your chosen site carefully by moving forward only the width of the
search-head at each sweep. Move up and down the search area in lines so
that there is plenty of overlap in the ground you have covered. Search with the
sensitivity set as high as possible according to the ground conditions.
Setting the GROUND control.
Experienced users can achieve a higher level of sensitivity by setting
the ground control manually.
With GROUND set to AUTO, DISC VOL and IRON VOL set to maximum
and with DISC set to minimum, nd an area which is free from metal.
a) Switch the GROUND control out of the AUTO setting to position 1.
b) Start sweeping the search head from side to side. Whilst sweeping,
increase the GROUND control setting until the low (iron) tone disappears.
You have now ground excluded the CS6MX for that area.
c) Reset the DISC VOL, IRON VOL and DISC to your preferred settings.
Detecting with the CS6MX
Searching.
When the detector gives a signal, move the search-head to the approximate
area where the signal was heard, hold the switch in pinpoint and move the
search-head carefully around. The strongest signal will occur directly below
the centre of the search-head. Dig a neat hole by cutting around the signal
position with a sharp edged trowel and remove a divot of earth which might
now contain the metal object. Run the detector over the area again in pinpoint
mode to see if the metal object is still in the hole or in the piece of earth which
you have just removed.
Dig some more and sift through the earth until you nd what you are looking
for. Fill in the hole before moving on.
The use of headphones will increase battery life and make it easier to discern
faint signals.
Follow the ‘Countryside Code’. Do not trespass. Do not touch anything you
suspect might be live ammunition - inform the police.
Do not take your detector on any scheduled historic site. If you nd
anything which looks like it could have historical signicance, report it to
your local museum.
Acquaint yourself with any laws relating to the use of metal detectors
particularly if you want to go detecting in countries other than the UK.

CS6MX
Sensitivity, ground eect & discrimination
You will be able to get more performance out of your detector if you
understand the relationship between three aspects of detector operation -
sensitivity, ground effect and discrimination.
If you increase the power of a metal detector too much the ground itself is
detected and false signals make the detector difcult to use. The ‘motion’
electronic system of the CS6MX will ignore many ground effect signals
but some types of ground, notably waterlogged or containing salts or
mineralisation, require the detector to operate on reduced sensitivity.
However, the discrimination control must be used with care because some
objects, which could be valuable, have similar electrical characteristics to
rubbish items as far as the detector can tell. Higher levels of discrimination
also have the effect of reducing the depth of detection. For these reasons it
is best to keep the discrimination setting as low as possible.
Depending on how the controls are set the CS6MX can be set to ignore
signals from certain types of metal targets. Iron targets are identied by a low
pitch tone, however you can adjust the volume level of this tone so it can
be clearly heard or totally inaudible. The three tone discrimination is futher
enhanced by the Discrimination control in conjunction with the Discrimination
Volume control.
The discrimination control is used to determine the detector’s response to
‘mid range’ targets such as foil, nickel and 9ct gold. With the control set to
minimum, (and the disc volume set to maximum) every target apart from iron
will give a high pitch tone. As the control is turned progressively clockwise,
the response from these metals will then become a mid pitch tone. It is then
possible to reduce the disc volume on these targets so that only targets above
discrimination point are identied. This can be used to ignore the effects of
coke contamination.
