Newforce r1 awesome
November 21, 2020
This is a deep well balanced well made detector. It'll hit 10/11 inches on
a coin no problem, But it must be ground balanced correctly to achieve
this, loads of settings and features, too many to list.
Max Depth: 11 inches on US quarter

Well done c-scope
November 16, 2018
I got his as a bac machine and now use it as my main detector when going on
club digs. It is a great all round machine and is easy to use. I run the
coin/inland programme and it is excellent for the small hammered coins.
Great machine for in the stubble as well. You can also go and explore all
the different settings if you wish but I just go with the set programme for
speed and ease of use on digs and rallies.

Amazing machine
November 10, 2018
My C-SCOPE NEWFORCE R1 is a brilliant machine. What else can I say. Ok when
I used it at first I was a bit overawed by all its different functions but
the quick start settings had me detecting for coins in seconds.
When I started to learn al the different functions I just got better and better with it and I now leave my other machines at home when going on rallies as I know I will simply not use them as I love my Cscope R1 so so much and so does everyone else I know. That's why you never see them for sale for less than £300.00 these days. Although I felt it was expensive at the time I paid £500.00 for my CSCOPE R1 however I now know that it was every penny well spent for the value of the rare hammered coins I have been finding up and down the country.

R for rocks and 1 for the best.
May 27, 2014
Got my R1 and it rocks, a week ago now, so happy I opted for it. It is a
belter of a machine, and is a doddle to set up and use. It has everything,
manual ground balance, auto ground balance, tone id, two search coils, set
programs and create your programms with a memory storage, contrast
adjustment.., back light with brightness adjustment, ground on screen
Radar, change settings on the go without stopping detecting, number ID AND
TONE ID, accurate pin point, turn on and go programs.
Looking forward to going out again once I get a rain cover for it, it is water proof I'm just over protective for sunny Scotland lol..I cant speak highly enough of C-SCOPE, THEY ARE AN ABSOLUTLEY BRILLIANT COMPANY WITH A1 CUSTOMER SERVICE, WELL DONE TO THEM FOR DEVELOPING THIS BRILLIANT MACHINE. I have already found a very large 15th century Fede ring worn over a glove, about ten hammered and loads more fot TT Scotland to examine.
Check out Staffs metal detecting test and you will see it goes 10 inches, very good as most on average only go 8".

C-scope r1
October 25, 2012
So glad bazza (top post) didn't take the time to learn how to use this
machine and sold it to me via ebay! Great machine got to admit took some
time getting used to it including phoneing c-scope for advice, which I must
state were very helpful indeed. I think the more professional guy/gal would
figure it out in no time. I jumped in at the deep end a bit with this
being my first machine but glad I did - love it. Oh and thanks baz -
bargain!

Newforce R1
August 12, 2012
Used a c-scpoe for years and decided to upgrade to an R1, after a couple of
outings it now sits in the corner gathering dust, couldn't stand the
machine, overly complicated and that bloody cursor bouncing all over the
place, tried many ways of balancing the machine to no avail.. . treated
myself to a minelab gt, what a difference! Simple to set up and use giving
you plenty of time to detect and not stand scratching your head fiddling
with stupid menu's... If your looking for an upgrade steer well clear of the R1 and buy a minelab.

My first, I made the right choice.
October 05, 2009
This heavy machine can not be compared to other machines by me, because
it's my first detector. I looked at youtube for information. I saw a man
for minutes changing the settings on a F75 from Fisher, while the machine
was beeping along.I thought that one, isn't for me. Turn the volume knob and it's turned on, press enter and again enter and you're searching (set manual on in settings and you only have to use the volume knob). Download the manual before buying from cscope.co.uk site.
On ebay I payed 466 euros for a new one, in the Netherlands they cost 1099 euros.
Battery consumption is very good, although I never use headphones.
It's heavy but well made, it is resistent to rain. Pin pointing is right in the center of the coil, but when I'm digging I use a Sherlock DTS-PRO pointer. I then don't have to pick up de R1 for a sweep.
It has a adjustable backlight for the LCD in steps.
Other detectors I was/am interested in are:
Garrett 1350-GTP and GTI-1500
Minelab Safari
5 stars for build quality, rain resistant, it actually does where it's made for, the programms in memory give stable readings, everything is adjustable if you choose for it.

One of my favorite detectors
November 14, 2007
I have been detecting since the early 80s and have used many units thru the
years, this r 1 is the most sensitive unit I have ever used. I picked up a
piece of a cut up penny about a fourth of the penny 4 inches deep no
problem, unit rejects iron very well is light as a feather and the batts
last forever. Depth is excellent even with the 5 inch coil, the unit has
tone id even in pinpoint mode and in disc mode also you can make
adjustments even while the unit is operational, cant do that with my dfx,
unit has many great features and easy to scroll through the menu, it has a
radar that gives a signal wave of the target, the only neg thing I can say
about the unit is the numbers on the screen are hard to see but you can see
where the notch bar lands on top of screen which also determines number
that makes up for the number of object. It is also a great beach machine
very sensitive and it has a beach mode, you can run in all metal and still
get tone id, its a great very well balanced unit I will keep this one in my
arsenal..

So simple to use and avoids Iron
September 18, 2007
I have had a C Scope 'Newforce' R1 for 2 years now and I love it.Enough
adjustability to suit the user without over complicating matters.I NEVER
dig iron with this machine as the discrimination is superb.The small graph
on the display gives you information and the depth and size/shape of the
target so even if iron does get through the discrimination, you can see
that it is a large piece and ignore it. Pinpointing is spot on also as it gives you Audio discrimiation on pinpoint (to further reject iron) and you can place the coil centre directly over the target (unlike my Vaquro). Great for searching gardens or other sensitive areas as you can remove the smallest of turf to retrieve the target and leave the area looking pristine.
It is deep and sensitive and often detects items so small I can hardly see them.
I sometimes take non detectorists out with me to try the hobby and the R1 is the machine I give them whilst I use my Tesoro Vaquero. The reason being I just set the R1 up and tell them "it beeps, you pinpoint, you dig", its that simple as the machine itself does all the thinking for you.
Another bonus is that C Scope customer service is truly outstanding and helpful.
OK, so now the negatives........it is a heavy machine BUT it is well balanced with the battery box up under the elbow but in normal use the weight is not an issue, only when detecting up/down slopes do you notice it.The plus side of this extra weight is the R1 is well made and robust.
A much under rated machine In my opinion and it does the job it was intended to do and does it very well.
