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

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.

Well its here......and i got quite a shock when it arrived.I ordered the older coil (round coil) version as it was quite a bit cheaper but not only did i get the new coil version,i recieved the rechargeable battery pack and charger,an in car charger,a great quality cscope finds bag,some headphones and a beanie hat and small finds box with the shops logo on it........makes me wonder if they sent out the wrong package.......i haven't even used it yet and im quids in.



Looking forward to having a bash with it on saturday,those rings will be juming into my shiny new finds bag.

Sounds like you lucked into a REALLY great deal, lol. It's nice to get unexpected upgrades and goodies, and BTW, that detector looks sweet! I'm an old school, twist a couple of knobs kinda guy, since starting 56 years ago when detectors had 1 or 2 knobs. Can't wait to hear how it works out for you.
