Me either, but no worries. AI to the rescue!

The CS4PI is a high-performance, pulse induction metal detector designed for challenging conditions, particularly beach environments, offering simple operation, deep detection, and robust build quality.

Overview​

The CS4PI excels where conventional metal detectors struggle, such as wet, salty beaches. It uses a pulse induction (PI) motion search system, enabling it to detect deep targets without complex tuning. Its “switch-on-and-go” design makes it accessible for beginners while still providing advanced performance for experienced users

Key Features​

• Pulse Induction Technology: Ignores mineralization in wet or salty ground, providing stable signals.
• Variable Frequency Control: Operates between 1–4.2 kHz, allowing adaptability to various ground conditions

• All-Metal Detection Mode: Optimized for depth, particularly effective on beaches.
• Adjustable, Counterbalanced Stem with Armrest: Designed for ergonomic handling and precise control.
• Belt-Mountable Control Box: Reduces arm fatigue during extended use.
• Waterproof Search Head: Elliptical or POLO 25 cm coil for deep probing and stability

At about $525, it will be interesting to see if the CS5PI gets any traction. Add tariffs and shipping perhaps $700 all in?
Can't wait to see what the PI hunters think...

I'll be trying mine next weekend to see if lives up to the hype it seems to get......i'll post some pics of the bottle caps,screws and tent pegs i find.

And let us know how deep you were finding targets, and if you were on the wet, in shallow water, or on the dry. I noticed the PI has a speaker on the front of the control box, so I assume it's not waterproof? Even so, would still be a potentially great PI to use on the wet and very shallow water as long as you're careful not to drop in saltwater. And the price looks pretty low, very reasonable, which could be a very good thing for lots of guys that have been crying out for a new PI to use on the beach.

Good detector, been making them for a while. Lots of digging ahead of you. Takes 8 AA’s to power that small unit. No disc of any kind. Have the CS6PI also. Good hunting .

Yes,definately will let you know about depths etc.
