the controls and what they do

ON/OFF VOLUME

This rotary control turns the unit on and simply

adjusts the volume to a comfortable level. No need to

enter the menu system just to change the volume as

with some computerised detectors!

MENU/SCROLL

This easily understood rotary control is used in

conjunction with the ENTER button to access the

menu system and adjust any aspect of R1 operation.

It has two functions. The first is to highlight the

desired menu option. The second is to adjust the value

of a setting up or down.

ENTER

The ENTER push button is used to confirm highlighted

menu selections. Once a menu option has been high-

lighted then pressing the ENTER button will select

that option. If a value is being set then pushing

the ENTER button will store that value. When no

menus are displayed pushing the ENTER

key will display the menus.

PIN-POINT

Pin-Point and Volume are 'hot' controls. This means

that they are always available for use during the

search. Pin-Point is used to reset the 'Radar' display

and to help the precise positioning of a signal.

menu system

discrimination

This range of functions allows you to reject or ignore unwanted signals

generated by items such as pull tabs. It can also act as a Notch Accept

or a Notch Reject. There are four options to set the discrimination level

to give maximum flexibility and ease of setting. A black block under the

line of ID numbers indicates that a signal with that number will give no

audio sound, the ID display will still show the signal.

sensitivity

These functions allows setting the sensiivity of the R1.

audio

This range of functions control how the audio information about buried

targets is presented.

programs

These functions allow the operator to store and recall the set up of the

R1. Up to two programs can be stored. A program will store all of the

current settings including Discrimination, Sensitivity, Frequencies etc.

It will not store the Display Contrast and Brightness settings. These are

stored separately and retrieved automatically at turn on. The R1 comes

with the first three programs preset to commonly used settings.

The COIN INLAND Program is set for high sensitivity to precious metals,

the ALL METAL Program for deep seeking of all metals and COIN

BEACH Program for Beach use.

set-up

These options allow the display settings to be adjusted. These settings

are stored when the R1 is switched off and will be restored when it is

turned back on.

short while ago I was

pleased to be asked to

field-test the latest

model from C.Scope, this being

the Newforce R1.

I followed the quick set up

instructions in the manual and

used the detector over a number

of buried targets of known

identity buried in my lawn.

All were acknowledged as

expected. Even a Roman AE4 at

a depth of 5ins, with a rather

sneaky iron nail lying within an

inch of it, was clearly picked out.

I then studied the Ground

Radar graph over each target.

Generally the smaller targets

at greater depth gave smaller

results on the display. The char-

acteristic ’double bang’ of a

hammered lying slightly to one

side was represented by two

small peaks very close together

on the graph. I very quickly

picked up on the use of the

Ground Radar graphics as a

visual pin-point facility, acting

as confirmation to the existing

audio pinpoint facility.

A short drive away and we

were on perhaps the detec-

torists’ favourite terrain: the

rolled field. For this I chose

‘Factory setting B’ for all metal

target location. The two hours

we spent on this rolled field

produced a total of 128 targets,

but remember we were search-

ing in all metal mode and

therefore digging up every

signal. Eight coins were found,

comprising seven George II

pennies and one really battered

Victorian halfpenny. The coins

were found at varying depths

from 1in to about 9ins.

Putting a coin back into a

measured hole we were still

getting respectable target

audio for a Georgian penny at

a depth of 9-10ins.

Our entire group spoke of

their confidence in the

Newforce R1’s ID performance

and the sharpness of the pin-

point facility. The others had

also recognised the pinpoint

possibilities of the Ground

Radar simulation graph.

On a meadow site the first

target was a brass tack,

followed by a really corroded

AE3. Again we all took turns

using the detector, noting that

with several additional AE3s

located, the ID reading was

5-8. An anteminiarius of

Gallienus, found later, registered

9 on the ID.

We took out a total of 12

Roman coins from this site.

AE3s were located in soil at

measured depths of 2.5, 3.5

and 5.5 inches with clear sharp

target analysis. It could just be

pure luck but the week before,

five of us were on this same

site (anything Roman at this

time of year gets a visit from

us) and we pulled off a total

of only four AE3s and a cross

section of a brooch. Of course,

it is always a matter luck in

placing the search head directly

over the target, I can’t

deny that, but the Newforce

popped out coins on several

occasions very near to old

excavations and where foot

marks clearly showed the area

had been searched before.

It would appear that Lady

Luck and a good detector

constitute a good marriage.

Woodland was the next

type of land where I decided to

test the Newforce R1. This was

because conditions can be very

variable, and in our area

woods are normally absolutely

contaminated with shotgun

cartridge ends.

The patch of woodland chosen

was no different from this.

Although some reasonable

finds have been made here it

is very contaminated with the

leftovers of many a great

Edwardian - and later - shoot.

I decided this would be

good ground to test the

Learn Reject facility.

After a few minutes I had

found about three cartridge

ends, all from the same manu-

facturer. In fact, most of the

brass and copper cartridges

found here are of that make.

Sweeping them over the

search head I was delighted to

find that the culprits were now

not recognised by the audio,

although the ID graph still

informs you that a target of

sorts has been detected.

I searched along some paths

and around fallen tree roots

and all was clear. That was

until one of the tree root pans

gave off a clear sharp signal

registering on the ID display.

Digging down about 5ins into

the pan I locateda silver

coin. I dared to hope

that it would be a

hammered, but soon

confirmed that it

was not. It was

a reasonable

condition

25 centimes

coin of

Napoleon

III, dated

1872.

Strangely

enough,

this is

about the

fourth such

coin to be found in this area.

Perhaps the Newforce has

added more evidence to

support that the woodlands

may have played host to a

French guest invited to a shoot

held last century.

I can visualise him swinging

his gun round to claim a jinking

hen pheasant, causing a tightly

tailored pocket to split and

release some coins into the mud.

Hammered coins have been

recovered from this site,

approximately three so I have

been told, but the contamina-

tion is so bad that few

detectorists return after their

first visit.

We look upon this as a curse

to be broken by the R1.

Summary

The unanimous verdict of all

the Pastfinders is that the

results achieved and the clarity

of display information means

that the Newforce is in a

league all of its own. Try as we

might, we had a real problem

finding any fault with this

machine, in any area we tested

it on.

The

manual

is com-

prehensive,

and yet easy

to under-

stand. It is also

packed with

handy hints, so that

even the new novice

owner has immediate

access to experienced tips.

The rapid ‘get you going’

instructions are also very useful.

It is unusual these days to find

any particular product made

for our hobby that totally

evades criticism. I am pleased

to announce in our opinion the

Newforce R1 is such a product.

All of the Pastfinders had

great pleasure in field testing

the Newforce R1 and take

further pleasure in producing

a positive report on a really

superb machine. It was a delight

to handle a detector produced

with an ear to detectorists’

comments and past criticism.

The NEWFORCE R1 harnesses the power

of the micro-computer to check ground

conditions,optimise depth and provide

target identification data all in a user-friendly

lightweight and highly robust package.

The computer pre-sets everything for the

novice or the professional can manually

change the operating parameters

and tweak performance exactly

to personal preference.
