THE IRON MASK
Operating in Iron Mask
Figure 5.6
Pressing the IRON MASK shortcut button again will display a
Smartfind screen resembling Figure 5.6. This display shows that the
detector is ready to operate in Iron Mask. This function is
programmed to reject ferrous targets and make it easier for you to
find more desirable (non-ferrous) objects like coins and jewelry.
Iron Mask is preset to reject ferrous objects at a level suitable for
basic detecting. This is shown in Figure 5.5 as a rating of -6 with
the dark area filling the left third of the screen. Smartfind will not
display an object when its target crosshair would appear in this
dark, masked area of the screen and the ExplorerIIs threshold
hum will disappear momentarily.
However, if you wish to locate specific types of objects you may
need to modify the ExplorerII's level of ferrous rejection. This is
done by adjusting the Iron Mask as explained previously on page
45.
