The CS1220 has been designed for professional
treasure hunters. We've taken a detector design which has delivered an outstanding success record for 25 years and
then added power and versatility made possible
by the most modern digital electronics.
Detector advertisements seem
to suggest that it is the metal detector
which finds the treasure!
We would
like to tell you something which regularly
successful detectorists have known all
along.... It is you, your experience, and
the way you use your detector which
gets results!
Of course you need a top
class detector, one that you can get along
with, and the CS1220R gives you
just that.....at a very sensible price.
The reason why committed 1220 users would not swap for
anything else lies in the way the machine
operates as an extension of the senses.
Professional detector users understand the need to balance the three aspects of detector operation - sensitivity, ground effect and
discrimination - the 1220 does all this in an extremely effective, user
friendly way.
Anybody who has been around the hobby for a while will know about the 1220 concept. This brilliant detector design was first created by C.Scope engineers more than 20 years ago. Since then, the machine has been upgraded several times, providing more performance and more user friendly features at each model change.
The unique 1220 has become the firm favourite of truly professional detectorists all over Europe... and when the big finds hit the headlines just look how often the 1220 is the machine of choice.

Now, the culmination of that success story is the CS1220 XD, a sharp, extremely high performance, lightweight metal detector which will impress everyone, amateur and professional, whatever machine they are using now.
The reason why the 1220 is magic in skilled hands lies in the way the machine operates as an extension of the senses. Users of the 1220 report that they can read its signals and analyse what they see and hear to gain their own, highly accurate impression of what metal objects lie under the ground. A lot of detectors on the market today are so called 'MOTION' machines, simple to use but you have to keep the search head moving, quite quickly in some cases, to enable the electronics to work properly.
That motion aspect can encourage the user to work too fast and miss important signals altogether.
Another problem with conventional motion machines is that the electronics makes the discrimination decisions so that you get no signal at all on targets which the machine considers to be rubbish or, the machine will tell you, often wrongly, on the screen what it considers the target to be. On some "MOTION" machines, there is a pinpoint button, to put them into a "non -motion" mode, but for a limited time (for as long the button is pressed) and no metal discrimination.
None of that with the 1220! it's a non-motion machine which favours a methodical, steady search technique where you can proceed at your own speed. That's the way to search an area of ground properly. And the 1220 audio dsicrimination feature allocates higher pitched sounds to valuable objects and lower pitched sounds to undesirable targets.
You search along at a steady pace. Every target gives you a signal but your ears tell you what to dig.
That's how the 1220 is the perfect marriage between detector and user.
The CS1220 XD uses bang up-to-date electronic signal processing to keep the machine in check, ensuring that top performance is obtained whatever the terrain.
More stability, more power, and of course that outstanding user-friendly operating concept are what makes the CS1220R well worth waiting for.
You might even say, the best just got even better!
Tone, Sensitivity and Discrimination controls
Allows the user to input his personal preference for
tuning threshold, sensitivity and discrimination level against worthless items.
The three operating modes described below. offer a
unique combination of search possibilities.
The "GD 1 & GD 2" modes.
allows the user to
search at maximum depth for all metals and discriminate after.
Deep treasure enthusiasts listen up! Go
over all your old sites again with the
CS1220 in 'GROUND' setting and see what new
comes up. The 1220 target analysis
system delivers more information
at the press of a button. When a target is located press the "DISC" button and alter the metal discrimination scale control to determine your target.
The non-motion operating system favours a steady methodical approach which, as all long time successful detectorists will confirm, is the only way to get
consistent results.
The "METER
SEARCH" mode.
This is seriously clever stuff. It's as if the
'eyes and ears' of the detector are extended
for maximum information from underground.
It's like having two detectors in one. The
audio side of the detector is operating in
maximum depth 'G' mode but on the visual
side, the indicator meter, is giving information
about the desirability of the target!
"METER &
AUDIO" mode.
This is how the real professionals use a
1220 - maximum target information
registered on the audio spectrum. The
intelligent CS1220 XD allocates higher pitched
sounds to valuable objects and lower
pitched sounds to undesirable targets. Also the meter gives target information and distance estimation.
You listen for the right sound that means
treasure underfoot. What could be simpler?
That's how the CS1220 XD is your perfect
partner to successful detecting.
