C.Scope Metal Detectors
C.Scope are a properly British name. While most detector brands come from America or further afield, C.Scope have been designing and building in Kent since the late 1970s. If you started detecting in the UK a couple of decades back, the odds are good you swung a C.Scope at some point.
About C.Scope
C.Scope grew out of a Kent company in the late 1970s, the name evolving from “Candle Scope” into the C.Scope we know. Through the 1980s and 1990s the CS series set the brand’s style: tidy control boxes, clearly labelled rotary knobs and an audio-first, listen-to-the-ground way of detecting. Alongside the hobby machines, the company built a serious business in professional pipe and cable locating, which is where a lot of its focus sits today.
