Hi,
I have bought a C.SCOPE CS8SST a couple of weeks ago which I've modified. The information was hard to find and because of that this will be my first contribution for this forum.
According to the information on findmall.com it's related to the Discovery treasure baron SST detectors. According to "JB" it was possible to boost it with a simple jumper.
Also a French website was praising the performance of this detector if it had been modified.

I run into a polish website that had a file about the calibration and jumper sets for the C.SCOPE New Force CS-5ZX which is the name of this detector for the US market.
The jumper sets can be found in J106 on the PCB. J0 starts at the front of the pcb/casing.
I've created two toggle switches in the casing of my detector. The first toggle switch switches (J0/J1) between 2 tone audio ID (default for c.scope) and a 10 tone audio ID.
The 2 tone audio ID iron creates a low tone for iron. With the 10 tone audio ID there's a low tone for iron, but also a staccato according to an article of George Payne. This helps to identify large pieces of oxidated iron in the soil which can trigger a false positive. The audio ID works independently from the target ID shown in the SST display if I'm correct.
The second toggle switch switches (J3) betweend the the maximum sensitivity and reduced sensitivity.
This really does make a diference as can be seen in my air tests. I've used different coins and other metals.
some examples:
US silver dime 16 cm vs 20 cm
UK one penny 20 cms vs 26 cm
thin gold necklace 6 cm vs 9 cm
gold ring 20 cm vs 26 cm
I also did a test with full discrimination an using the notch (select & bandwith) to include gold based on the 3 golden items I had available (thin necklace, small token, ring). There was no loss in depth in the air test with full discirmination! Strangely it looks like there even is a small increase for the golden token and ring in my test, but this could als have to do with the test setup.
Iron was ignored in the Tone ID and in case of bigger oxidated iron the staccato sound can be heard. Iron/oxidated iron do light up one of the target ID LED's. Oxidating iron can result in a higher visual target ID, but the staccato will sound in the case of the 10 tone audio ID. If the item is close to the surface or really big there is an overdrive sound. This can be disabled (J2) if you want to.
Coke is a special case with full discimination and including gold using the notch filter. The sound is golden, but it will have the visible target ID of foil in my tests.
Air test without discrimination and reduced sensitivity:

In can differentiate between iron and close by other targets if you move it slow. Old oxidated iron can be a problem this needs to have a distance of 10-20 cm depending on the position of the target and the oxidated iron.
good luck! beep.
